Yeah, when I look at them

Yeah, when I look at them side by side I see what you mean, but it’s not grossly distorted, just a little wider/flatter. I’m not trying to make an argument, my point was just that it’s not too different than the font has looked for over 20 years. “Really mangled” is a matter of opinion, for sure.

IDK Mike, take a look at that “ed” looks kinda squooshed and stretched actually. It’s just really mangled next to the Fontshop version.

Actually, that’s the extra

Actually, that’s the extra bold weight, and it doesn’t look like it’s been distorted at all, other than spacing. The font is by Michael Neugebauer from 1980-87, according to the ’98 FontBook.

I would have never guessed that to be an actual typeface. It’s obviously been extremely man-handled and stretched out of whack.

Just curious Mike, what attracted you to this face? What do you have planned for it?
