I QUIT

An ignominious use of Friz Quadrata.

Stencilled letters on the side of a dumpster read NORTHWAY in Friz Quadrata

Then again, he’s a tough old South American runaway Nazi bastard and can stand a bit of stencilling.

…in that neither of them exists online, but we love to talk about them in a kind of girlish and dreamy way.

To continue, then, our discussion of footnotes on Web pages: [continue with: Footnotes are like unicorns →]

It took two shoots at two locations to come up with a photo that’s only this good. That is indeed a fontmodded Cooper Black that attracts your immediate attention.

I stand before a Virgin Mobile billboard of a wrestler snapping on his ear protectors, with the headline ‘I know a painful hold when I see one.’ Green paint obscures the model’s right eye

Somebody’s defaced it already. Here’s mud in your eye!

Again, just what it says.

The old-style (but not quite oldest-possible-style) Toronto street signs. Since Hollywood stars hang out there once a year (suburban Guidos the rest of the time), Village of Yorkville gets to use Le Griffe.

Street signs at the corner of Bay St. and Yorkville Av. have top banners reading Village of Yorkville in Le Griffe script

Because tacky people think script fonts are klassy.

I think homebrew fontmods like this – like this, not just any of them – are the greatest thing since sliced bread. I guess the criterion is: The more it looks like a hand-painted sign in a South American peasant village, the more I like it.

Orange cap on white pickup truck has the word ‘jermark’ in hand-drawn Bauhaus font and a phone number in black Helvetica outlined in yellow

From a review of an IE7/Win beta:

At present, IE7 has a problem rendering some Web pages. According to Microsoft, this is caused by the sites, which need to update their detection code for IE7.

Standards-compliant pages don’t need browser detection. (And someday they won’t need browser hacks, either.) What the sites need to update is their markup.

Additionally, a request to Windows Longhorn Vista testers: If you’re going to “leak” anything, please “leak” screenshots of IE7 in use with highly-standards-compliant sites; with enormous fonts; with Unicode test pages and severely complicated non-Latin scripts; and with MathML. Do please also show us what happens with large numbers of tabs.
