Looking at it up close, the difference in weight can be seen, but the shorter serifs are a much more obvious difference between the W and the rest of the typeface.





No idea what I'm going to do with this case…I'm tempted to see what I can do with duck tape. XD

    1. Haha, I didn't know I constantly came up with them…I just had one burst of cleverness with this lemon stuff. I just remember it because when I was young, the ice cream shop where I lived had 3 flavors; vanilla, chocolate, and lemon. I always picked lemon.

    2. Doesn't matter right? You just look at the writers with the eye of a designer and that slips into your writing. Only makes it better!
