it's geek-chic retro cool uber. Nobody sensible would be seen dead using it (or wearing thick-rimmed glasses etc)

comic sans would be ironic but not geek.

Rob - there's 10 types of people in the world, those that can read font names in binary and those that can't 😉

What type of geekiness?

Bike geek, computer geek, car geek or even typography geek might all suggest something slightly different.
