That was short and amusing. It appears the goal is to determine which typefaces are compatible. As the writer states on the About page, romance is used as a sort of metaphor. There's comedy here to be found, though it's rather dry and subtle.

That would be designer humour XD It's definitely a different breed. You should hear the conversations we have. But it's very well done on a web platform and is a beautiful illustration of type (see, you don't always need pretty pictures ;)).
