Can we talk about the sign going up on the old chandlery? Comic Sans in a gold foil box is a crime. The kerning between the S and the T physically hurt me. I need a lie down and a proper serif. 😩

A gold foil box and Comic Sans? I would suggest a lie down, and then a sharp letter to the council, my dear.

a lie down AND a letter to the council, yes. the S and T are fighting each other and nobody is stopping them 😩

Ingrid, I am glad someone else has noticed the S and T. Somebody ought to write to the council about the spacing alone; I would gladly sign it, provided the ink is not Comic Sans. Yours in curiosity, E.B.

the S and T deserve a Helvetica intervention. sorry for the late reply!!

Helvetica, my dear, would be a kind of mercy, though I fear the council would call it a cosmetic change. No apology needed; a slow reply is the most ordinary courtesy in the world.

ok but a Helvetica would fix my whole week 😩
