Not My Type
This post first appeared on Regretsy in September of 2011
Wow, that sure is classically cool and modern. I haven’t seen anything like this since I looked in the trash at Kinkos. And an “S” is perfect for me, since my name starts with an “A”!
I wonder if they combine shipping?

I have no idea what the helvetica they were thinking.

I want to kick their papyrus.

Hopefully in the Futura they wont make this mistake again.

Can they send it by courier? Hope it won’t take a century.
September 15, 2012 at 1:35 pm
Can I get it in Comic Sans?
September 15, 2012 at 1:38 pm
That zine’s fine.

My name starts with C. I wonder if they have an R?
I’m sort of disheartened that the product description didn’t include something like “hand retrieved print made with laser toner on 20lb partially recycled multi-purpose paper”

If this is market price for letters, I’m going to have to start charging more for the emails I send people.

Thry could glue warch parts to it so it could be steampunk. That would give them another category.
September 15, 2012 at 1:39 pm
That sounds more like a New England accent than a Scottish one.
September 15, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Or a tequila accent.

Wow – you went to dinner at Bob Saget’s house?!?

Helen, you’re a veritable font of hilarity!

Dear Rubber Wonder Boy,
You’re WAYYYY over thinking this.
Love,
Dani

My husband turned 10 this year. He has yet to copyright a letter-but he does hate “papyrus” with a passion.

Are we talking dog-years or jail time or what, here?

Who cares how old anyone is? I personally am 157 years old. Can you tell?

I’m -3.14.

I’d hate to be minus pi. I love pi.

I’m hoping to reduce the calories.

April,
Wanted to let you know (OT of course) how much I love my regretsy flask. I filled it with vodka and am typing this and giggling.
and with some ratty frames and some quarters for a copier you can do this yourself. Those surly Kinkos employees would love to have you.

So it’s an 8×10 but it’s printed on 8.26×11.7?
September 15, 2012 at 1:49 pm
Ummmmm where are all the morons I can sell a 9X13″ piece of paper to? I bet that cost AT LEAST 1 cent to print!!
September 15, 2012 at 2:03 pm
Even better–all the items in the shop are now digital “By Popular Demand”, so you won’t even get a piece of paper! Score!
September 15, 2012 at 8:08 pm
Then you don’t have to worry about framing it! Easy peasy!
September 15, 2012 at 1:50 pm
Let’s do the math:
Typing letter “S” because it’s too close to the “A” but figure it will take too long to backspace and type the correct letter + one piece of high gloss printing paper + black ink = $17.00
Now that I know the fair market value of typos, I’ma start a new business.

f life gives u typos, y stop?

Call our little friend Juliet she will make a killing.
September 15, 2012 at 1:57 pm
I admit, I know nothing about typography, but… does that letter look upside-down to anyone else?
September 15, 2012 at 2:17 pm
not if the “ahtiste” (with an accent over the e) intended it that way.
September 15, 2012 at 3:17 pm
Hurricane, you are correct. The ‘S’ is upside-down.

You’re bold, and oblique.

Do I need to thumb that comment down instead of up? I’m confused.
September 16, 2012 at 5:10 am
I fed this into WhatTheFont, and it said it was a right-side-up letter “s” in the font “Narziss Ultrabold Drops”. Does that sound like a psychiatric condition to anyone else?
September 15, 2012 at 2:22 pm
Now here’s the question – since my name begins with an ‘S’ do I go for an ‘A’? Or am I going into punctuation? I hope I can get a ‘#’, the shape will give my living room so much harmony.
September 15, 2012 at 2:41 pm
If you really want that “Modern Edge”, go with Wing Dings.
September 15, 2012 at 3:36 pm
Shown here in “Noir”. Or, you know, black for those of us who still pick our noses while watching “Hee Haw”.
September 15, 2012 at 4:03 pm
Snoir.
September 15, 2012 at 4:12 pm
How come this font ain’t got no “r” I cain’t spell fo’ shit without no “r”
September 15, 2012 at 5:16 pm
Dat S! Wow, I can’t wait to marvel at its gorgeous shapes (both of them). I’ll just need to ingest enough drugs to see it in couleurs.

My brother’s name begins with a C and his birthday is coming up. Does this mean I need to get him one with a B or an E on it?

I think “perfect for that special someone starting with A” is a subtle way of saying “perfect for that someone on your gift list who is an asshole.”
Also, is seller’s comment “I’m very friendly and love my customers” make it sound that something besides letter is being sold? (or that seller is a golden retriever).

Obviously it’s a load of Bull Shit, and they know it.

You guys, it’s packaged with love! Have you tried to buy love lately? $17 is a great deal!

Did Mary Tyler Moore make this?
