I wonder if the standardization of fonts on Social Media platforms actually took away an important dimension of typo-tonality.
Just thinking of the visual qualities web designs can imply.
Imagine if you really could design your Tweets…
Maybe that is just a bad idea.

when i'm upset and in metaphor mode it feels almost trivializing to myself to be like "i don't really mean this, it's a metaphor", but idk how to combat that

Does it matter so much? You can always make it explicit when after you realise you are misunderstood?
