Defend the Indefensible: Adobe's first original display typefaces

Based on Byzantine, Greek, and Roman writing, although in first two cases it is based very loosely.

Trajan abuse is not her or Adobe's fault in my opinion. If it had only been used for things based on ancient Rome it would have been fine.

Has Lithos ever looked good on anything?

Lithos is as eye-grating as Remedy to me, but I'm not averse to Trajan in its proper context.

ancient rome?

indeed

I once spent a non-trivial amount of my time hassling with which version of ATM was installed on which Macs. If you graduated from UC Irvine in 1991-92 and had the Kinkos across the street typeset your resume. I probably was the one doing it.

Fuck Lithos to hell. I still have an immediate EEWWWYYYUUUCCHHH reaction to it.

I feel like Lithos Black could still have legitimate comedy purposes, like the aforementioned Comic Sans. That's not much of a defense, but it puts it over Remedy in my estimation.

appropriate use of Trajan:

not trajan, because i checked:
Gladiator (Castellar)
Ben-Hur 2016 (Friz Quadrata?)

i like trajan's j

I saw some Lithos Black on a sign the other day and actually got a kick out of it. I don't remember why I decided to be so OTT mean-spirited in this thread, at all!

Actually I can guess, but still, why poor Carol Twombly had to be the target of so much ire the day after Christmas, that's just ridiculous. That Tombot is a jerk!
