I came across this poster on Pinterest. I decided to mix up the blog by posting a "what not to do" in type design. I found this poster to be very funny. I never realized how annoying bad typesetting could be. I can honestly say I picture myself bringing this poster into indesign and manually fixing the kerning and leading. I know the font was probably also picked out in hopes to further "piss off your designer friends" but it actually doesn't bother me as much. I believe the font the designer used is helvetica.
Although it may make readers cringe this is such a genius design, communicating the main intention of the text. I will try to stay away from this bad choice of typesetting in future projects... unless it is used for a specific intention.
