good type gone bad


this is a bad type because the stroke closes all the bowls, and the kerning is horrible.  the letters are falling over and it just looks bad.  
this is located on the facade of the art building.  i took it today,

ligature


i chose the ligature between the w and i in drawing on my drawing tablet.  I like this ligiture because it only happens with some fonts, when the i has a top serif.  i found it on my drawing pad, today.

i chose the weis sign for poor kerning because the kerning is so bad.  the e and i are so close together and the s is in la-la land out there.  this is disgusting i hate it.  and the stroke around it is bad too.
i took this today
it's in front of weis on main st.

bad type



i chose the Letterman's Diner sign as the worst type in KU. I hate this sign because when you are driving you can't even read the beginning of Letterman's because its too small. i also hate that the kerning looks horrible, like between the E and T. the third thing i hate about this is that the bowls in the letters are so small you can hardly see them in the smaller letters especially the A. i final thing that makes this sign bad is the stupid dot in the I of diner. why arent there dots anywhere else? i also think that the tracking between the 2 words is kinda funky. this sign is on main st in Kutztown. i took it on thursday at 6... but its there all the time :)
