I'm glad everyone in the typography community decided that "sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow" is the optimal english pangram because it means I get to see it a lot more often when comparing fonts

(I am a "pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs" diehard but I understand why people might not want to embrace alcohol culture that way)

i always thought sphinx of black quartz was way sicker than the other one tbh

oh yeah it's absolutely sicker, I just think the liquor one does a better job of spreading the Weird Letters between words
