There should be a metal band called Distressed Type. They could do their logo in...

Also, Drop Shadow.

― bendy, Sunday, 31 October 2010 00:48 (fifteen years ago)

we've had Times New Viking three times, why not a fourth. I was about to say 'Arial Pink' before I realised how terrible a joke it was.

O shit.
