Split Personality Week: Geometric Stencil






Pr*tty
Geometric Stencil is a pretty silly typeface, but it’s hard to argue with its well-proportioned geometry. And in the right context, and the Rock of Ages posters are a good example, it can be pretty great.

Sh*tty
Unfortunately every cheap sign and awning maker in town seems to have it as one of their six available fonts, and it gets used in places it shouldn’t. Maybe I shouldn’t blame the font, but I still think this falls under the Split Personality criteria. Sort of like that episode of Seinfeld with the two-face.
