Dysmorphic Letters

Why don't sign-making businesses buy a damned condensed font once in a while, rather than condensing regular fonts to the point of unreadability?


Look at the capital Ts and Ls in that last word -- the verticals are about a quarter the width of the horizontals!

And would it be in bad taste to mention that the Emily Program treats people with eating disorders, particularly anorexia... who have a dysmorphic view of their bodies? What about these letters, huh? Why can't you let them be the size they were meant to be?

Here's an old, hand-painted sign, from the days when sign-makers had enough sense to make their condensed letters readable... because they we were actually thinking about how to draw the shapes, instead of relying on a computer to think for them.
