OK ... sp, the guy who designs one of the ugliest typefaces ever made gets a cool 100k a year for five years for giving us that abortion of a font with no strings attached, whilst people with real talent sit there idle in unemployment Hell for who knows how long.
There's something seriously wrong with that picture.

you can give $500,000 to "people with real talent" and I'm sure no one will argue with you.
Also, if they are talented, why are they unemployed?
