<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 6687128, member: 1765&quot;]I saw a picture of one of these yesterday and while it is refreshing to see the date back on the obverse, I have a few quibbles related to typography.</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; The date is rendered in a computer font rather than one drawn to match the original art-deco design and the rest of the obverse lettering and as such looks out of place, like a price increase sticker slapped on top of a professionally designed restaurant menu.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; The word LIBERTY seems to have had serifs hamfistedly added here and there that aren&#039;t true to the original, but look like the kind of enhancement that came out of a phone doodle.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; The sans-serif font on the reverse is a computer font that tries to come close to the original, but fails.</p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; The serif font on the reverse doesn&#039;t match that of the date on the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Such &quot;Old Country Buffets&quot; of fonts really rub me the wrong way.&nbsp; Sometimes I wish it didn&#039;t, because there&#039;s never a darn thing I can do about such offenses, including mixing ClearView Hwy with FHWA on the same road sign.&nbsp; The ATB quarters were consistent in their typography, and it paid off in them having a very coherent appearance.&nbsp; The new 2021 design looks sloppy and careless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
