Why Fonts Matter

I remember once while in beautiful S.E. Asia, they had fliers posted all around the compound that were photocopies of a hand-printed flier. The USO was coming in and they were to have the "Donut Dollies" with them.

From the net: Donut Dollies were single, female college graduates who were used primarily as morale boosters for U.S. combat troops in Vietnam. Their training manuals instructed them to present themselves as reminders of girlfriends, wives and sisters waiting back home. The donut dollies were to be "nonsexual symbols of purity and goodness." (Good luck with THAT in a combat zone!)

Anyway, there must have been a bazillion of these fliers posted and handed out. They advertised the usual cookies, juice, music, etc. etc. But the biggie was at the bottom of the flier where it listed the main attractions:

DONUT DOLLIES - FREE FUCKS!!


When they hand-printed the original flier to copy, the letters "L" and "I" in the word "FLICKS" (movies) were a bit too close together! ;)

Here are some Donut Dollies...

Bailey can talk about fonts and why their important until you actually consider cutting your ears off. If the font used had more kerning it wouldn't be a problem.

Is that something Foo invented?

Dad, I already told you. Kerning is the space between the letters!

That girl in the bottom picture on the right needs some hair on her head. If I wanted to date my f~#%#ing brother I'd ask him.... wimmins need hair on their heads, not dudes haircuts.

That's odd ... wimmins say the same thing about you! :D

Actually, I've always been attracted to long-haired wimmins ... but I always thought Di was pretty hot.

She's wearing penny loafers and staring at the other woman's mouth, Larke. I think you're not in there at any rate.
