- Ok, for all you gifically-challenged, here it is:
-
- The design consists of two lines of text. The top line is about 1.5 inches
- hich, Helvetica Compressed type, saying "words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu." All
- lower case--this looks marvelous in HelvComp, and the '@' signstands out
- strikingly, due to the way this font works.
-
- The second line is the phrase -DON'T SWEAT THE DETAILS-, written in a
- brisk hand, all caps, a stark contrast to the control and form of the
- typeset line.
-
- All in all, the effect is not unlike what one might see in a used textbook.
-
- Or that's what I think.
