    Cutting edge of modern typographic design

    I'd like to hear @boomerJuice95's opinion on that one. That's exactly what we need in this day an age though, a full on (typography) revolution.

    There's no font or font related take that can shock me anymore. I'm zen, numb to all font transgressions. I take the linguistics approach. There is simultaneously structure to the rules of typography and none at all, an ever shifting superposition of typographical canon.

    My marketing department was horrified to discover that for our big blockbuster holiday show of the year, the set designer chose the Jokerman font for the giant show title curtain. Instead of the custom title logo that our department spent weeks designing. My boss went to the production manager and begged them not to do this. Explained that the Jokerman font is completely embarrassing. They disagreed, saying it looks "fun" and "energetic".

    I'm dying, everything about this screams boomer TBH.

    Jokerman, of all things. Next they should do Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat and use Papyrus.
