This looks like the actual article for that download: https://bigbrandboys.com/luxury/silian-rail-font-american-ps.... It's one of those half-written clickbait-style artcles that repetitively mashes together easily googleable crap and leaves its main claims unsupported, specifically:

> Download Silian Rail font

Why should I believe this is the "actual real Silian Rail font"? It seems far more likely that it's a knock-off lookalike, probably of dubious quality. If it is the "actual real" font, I'm almost certain it's a pirate download (which I'm fine with, but it's the kind of thing I'd like to know).


I think the undisputed masterpiece is this comment, a premise so catchy, most people probably don't read the words. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of contrarianism, and the importance of superiority, it's also a personal statement about the commenter themself.

FWIW the font is Garamond Classico, Small Caps, Regular
