On the internet, a tiny piece of punctuation has become an unlikely battleground.
The extra-long hyphen known as the em dash (—) has developed a reputation thanks to its frequent use in AI-generated writing.
In a bid to reclaim the punctuation mark, a Sydney design agency has released new takes on some common fonts: Areal and Times New Human, featuring what they call the "am dash".
The idea is simple: download the typeface, use the dash, and signal that your words are written by a human.
