Font Friday: Lethargic

11.28.2008 · Posted in Design

I don’t think this font name accurately reflects the font. The spacing is too even, the lines, too predictable. When I feel lethargic, I am one hot mess sprawled on the couch with a candy bar in one hand, dirty dishes in the sink and laundry, piled as far as one can see. That’s not ...
