Rand, dude, I just checked and that upper R rules. If I had to take issue with any of the uppers in Lubalin Graph it'd be the G.
That's a fucking wierd G, G.

its interesting, the guardian article describes a sans as a slab with the serifs cut off, and Lubalin looks like 'a' sans with the serifs stuck on. How witty of old Herb ;)

so I'm the only one hallucinating a kind of decorative quality in the lubalin graph?
- mr_snuggles0
no it's there, dude, whoa...it's there...
- -sputnik-0
no rand, i see the deco quality as well.
i usually don't like deco, but i like the Q. strange.
- kelpie0
well it's like avant garde eh? so yeah it is totaly deco.
*shaves off goatee ;)
it's also super geometric, and I always associate modernism with clean even lines and geometry.
*cannot compute cannot compute ;)
