The good thing: With Sloop, SHOUTING looks even more stupid.

There will always be people who find ways to complain. My only complaint is that I don’t have the $$ to buy it.

Oh, and that nine styles might become unwieldy. Why not just one style with a lot of Opentype variants?

Peace,
JT

Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on!

JT,

There are lots of customers who just don’t do stylistic sets and the work involved is more than making several versions. I can understand the choice FB made.

Now this site looks classy and this forces me to open a good bottle of red wine, right now. ;-)

Hehe!

...no one can complain...

You’re waving a red flag there, pal.
Now I’m looking at the sturdy Georgia and thinking, wish I could spruce that up.
But this is a site where users can’t get to specify their own choice of text face.
Pity.

Wow, on the outskirts of legibility....like trying to read the word “minimum” in in a thick blackletter.

Peace,

Or like printing a wedding invitation using 2 foot high Cleartype :-)
