"Thank You For Your...

Hopeless font choice."

People who don't care
Will usually dare
to choose a typeface in a clutch,

People who don't learn
That this is too hard to kern
End up using Payrus as a crutch.

Paporous!

The sponge font... for all your flaky skin needs!

Q: What's worse than unkerned Papyrus?

A: Unkerned Papyrus on a poorly arced path with a horridly offset drop-

requisite scaly effect of working with reptiles.

Made in the Bronx...

but typeset in Queens?

As my great-Zia Anna used to say as she solemnly shook her head from
side to side, "It's a shame!"
