Explanations for the hesitations:

Born after Michelangelo’s David was unveiled (8 September 1504)?

Pass

He was born anywhere from 1480 to 1510, pretty large range

Primarily known for painting, drawing, sculpting, ceramics, or architecture?

I'll say yes, but this person's primary source of fame is hard to categorize, aside from the fact that I'm pretty sure it's an art.

His primary source of fame is design, but drawing is pretty close, which is why I answered yes

Can this person's work be viewed in the Louvre?

Not as far as I am aware, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I'm 99% sure that his work isn't in the Louvre as an exhibit, but it's very possible that there's a book or something along those lines that uses one of his fonts

Are the main works created by this person flat or two-dimensional in nature?

This is another one where it's hard to answer, but I'll say yes.

Technically his work was making punches, rather than the actual letters, but most people know him for the letters so I said yes

That name was fun to Google.

I figured that out too when I was searching up Trebuchet MS

I wonder what fonts work for that

Explanations for the hesitations:

You did all of that very well - I very much enjoyed the round all the way through. I am sometimes hesitant to pick a person with an unusual claim to fame (because of all of the hesitations and passes that might come up), but it often makes for the most fun rounds.

I once made the mistake of searching for "do a barrel roll".

See rounds 321 and 413 for other picks that are more known as a namesake than for anything they actually did

[DreamTrawler]

Great round, I love when you see the answer and it all clicks.

I just checked the spreadsheet, how do you +1 a cell in google sheets?
