Matt Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Extra-Slanty Italics Introduced For Extremely Important Words Manchester, UK - In an attempt to address writers' ever-growing word-emphasis needs, Manchester-based Pica Foundry has developed a new, extra-slanty italic font, design director Drexyl Quirkaflleeg announced Monday. "When writing important words, authors too often bypass regular italics in favor of all capital letters, which not only look awkward but also disrupt the flow of the text," said Quirkaflleeg whose new italics design is slanted at a more acute 60-degree angle instead of the normal 75. "We believe that the additional 15 degrees of slant will allow authors to create a much more intense and immediate reading experience." Quirkaflleeg said that his design team is currently developing a demi-semibold typeface for writers who "kind of, but not really" want to accentuate subheadings.

"I'm either overwatering it or underwatering it," said Mr. Slapstick of the dying plant. "But unless I get myself either an owner's manual or a Ph.D in sodding botany, I may as well just flip a friggin' coin." Mr Slapstick further noted that whatever the hell's wrong, three leaves fall off every time he even so much as breathes on the damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
