I mean, look at that! Would you just look at that?

Look how wide the G is, and the C, and the O... and then look how thin the T and R and E are.

Look at "2012" and notice that there is only a little space between the 2 and the 0, and then, a lot of space between the next numbers. This is called kerning, and this font's kerning is all wrong.

To a font person, the whole thing looks like somebody just vomited the letters out and left them where they landed!!

And then, are they using a black drop shadow on a mostly black background?!

It is an abomination. In fact, somebody did this shit on purpose. So it would be newsy but not slick newsy.
