We dig it — It's a great option for any typeface hipster or people who just want a small change, and it's proof that Slack is trying to improve its service for everyone — in the middle of criticism that its program is used by cops.
The company's chief financial officer, Allen Shim, wrote about ever-evolving business needs and Slack's commitment to delivering on those ends. "It’s clear that a sustainable long-term adaptation depends on a much more comprehensive re-examination of how you lead your team," Shim said. "Don’t think of this as surviving a crisis. Think of this as balancing on the cusp of a new era of work."
What people think — A cursory glance at Twitter shows that people are pretty much in love with this new Slack feature. One explanation is fairly straightforward: people like to have a say in matters, including how text appears on their screens. No one really want to live in a world where Comic Sans MS or wingdings is king but it's a good joke every once in a while. So whether you're a Helvetica nerd, a pensive Courier user, someone who likes playing with fire by using Papyrus or Verdana, Slack has room for your mood.
