    Interesting write up on Gill Sans. It's the first time I've ever used either font for anything so it's kind of a bit of an experiment for me. Can't say that I fully agree with the horrible font conclusion, but I can see the curious quirks. Do you have any suggestions on other faces I could try out?

    Would you mind elaboration on why you believe the Cooper Black is generic? Is it how I use it, or just the face in general? Both?

    With the colours, again, I can't fully agree with you, but I definately see where you're coming from. Personally, I like them. It was my thought that between the almost camo-colours and the Cooper it looked a little bit retro/trendy. Like it's a t-shirt from 3 years ago or something. That MY impression, anyway. I've tried having all the background text as one colour and didn't like the look. Though I'm kind of going for an almost textured look, I would like it to be legible. Perhaps I'm trying for too accomplish too much.

    Thanks for the input, even if you're unimpressed. ;)
