Typographic mince pies

Which mince pie would you eat? Which one wouldn’t you eat?

What would they taste like?

Sanjay Mitra @shonlerock
“Would eat a) traditional looking font, Dickensian, fruity, icing sugar. c) trad. appeal, . d) no, looks fun, 70s, but don’t get feeling of quality, little filling. f) could go either way: cheap rubbish, or potentially high quality, large and deep filled. b and e no opinion.”

“E. It’s unfussy and no-nonsense, much like mince pies!”

Claire @ClaireFPalmer (via Twitter)
“C Festive and full of posh booze”

Allyn @AllynGR
“E: It looks like it’s going to taste traditional but with a modern twist, perhaps stripped down to key flavours, or an interesting new one. I guess because the font is thin it looks like the pie is not going to be too stodgy. The other fonts all looked either to fat or too fussy”
