As documented at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Google_Easter_eggs google search for "times new roman font" and the results are returned in that font. (https://www.google.com/search?q=Times+New+Roman+Font for the lazy). Looks terrible on my screen.

To be honest, the first moment I saw the page, it did seem to give my eyes a negative reaction, but after reading a few of the results, it started to look fine pretty quickly.

Nice! Also works with Courier and Comic Sans, but, sadly, not with Helvetica.

I think it mostly depends on what we're used to and what our associations are.

Many computer science people I respect are huge typeface nerds, but personally I could never see much value in focusing on it.
