Well, I didn't know what an 'epopt' is, either, so I looked it up. It isn't in any of my hard-copy dictionaries or my online Macquarie, but I found some definintions in some online dictionaries. The definition I liked the best was "One who has attended the epopteia."
In simple language, an epopt is someone who has been instructed in the mysteries of a secret or mystical system. We could probably agree that choosing between fonts, especially serif vs sans-serif fonts, is a mystical art, so the word fits the usage.
