Welcome to Season 3, Episode 18. We’ve all seen them. Typefaces that signal an ethnic establishment. For businesses, especially restaurants that sell Asian food, it’s not unusual to see the use of a “Chop Suey Font”. These fonts have also been used for politics, advertising, media, and other businesses. Whether Chop Suey, Wonton, or any number of mimicry typefaces, using these fonts sends a message that it’s a place that’s exotic, foreign, yet somehow accessible. We discuss the history of these fonts and whether they’re racist. To begin the episode, we talk a little about the shooting in Allen, Texas. To end the episode, we begin a new segment on Supporting Athletes of Asian Descent, and we provide a non-hockey fan’s guide to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Which NHL players of Asian descent are still playing? Find out here!
