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

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:

Gladiator (Castellar)
Ben-Hur 2016 (Friz Quadrata?)

four months pass...

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!
