That is beautiful.
I looked for an image of the old "Rent A Flick" sign and couldn't find one, though I see it mentioned on the internets.
very nice Joe... and she is very special
This one Gnub?

And to get us all in that festive mood...
That special aunt is indeed a poor font choice, but I'd have to argue that the fonts on the others is just fine; but the tracking/kerning is an issue
good stuff! :lmao:

Indeed.
I'll have to take a picture of a book cover I saw recently where the word "Contemporary" falls victim to a poor font choice where the lowercase "o"'s are square-looking, so that at first glance, the word looks a lot ruder than it ought to... :shocked:

There was a very funny episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" a few years back where Larry had an obituary published and the paper made a typo from "aunt" to "cunt."

Can we rant about Papyrus in this thread?
I didn't think that was off limits in any thread.

How is this thread different than any other thread?

As it that wasn't bad enough, I see through the windshield (or windscreen to other parts of the English-speaking world), that the truck letterer committed the cardinal sin of setting Brush Script in ALL CAPS... :shocked:

I noticed that, too. It's one fucking ugly piece of work.
Speaking of Papyrus...
Since there's been a condensed version of Papyrus on the Mac OS for some time now, I can't help wondering why somebody (like the original designer or one of the present licensees) doesn't just create a genuine bold version of Papyrus?
If nothing else, it would spare people like us the pain of experiencing Papyrus with either a "faux bold" effect applied to it (like in Word or Quark Xpress), or a stroke applied to it (like in InDesign or Illustrator)... :lipsrsealed:

If they did, nobody would be able to reed it. :cheesy:
Is Paper Plus still around? We used to call it Papyrus Minus. :laugh:
