Good type!

That's right, sit on the baseline. Good! Ok, now, kern! Good! Good type!

Everything Balm

Will this salve soothe the scars on my damaged retinas from looking at
this horrid typeface? Don't stare at that capital E gap, you'll go blind!

Release me...

from this stroked headline treatment made worse by initial capping,
which unfortunately draws the eye to the outrageous cap-height to
ascender ratio.

Tittle Trouble
















The sequence of
superscript dots are maddening! And are perilously close to the F's arm in addition to revealing the poor kerning of the j-i. Also clearly an error in font choice due to the cap "F" crashing the "g"'s descender. Nice die-cut on the coconut graphic though!

Go. Go. Go. For God's sake.

Bizarre over-kerning of i-o and gross oversight of R-e letterspace.

100% Pure Natural Kerning Issues

Major gaps with the cap P and T, as usual, but the numeral 1's set
width doesn't work with the 0 either.

I think the Lamas would agree.

Para(pyrus)normal

I see dead typefaces.
