Huh?

The art director must’ve fallen asleep before kerning this ad.

Spotify-placed ad for Serta mattresses

The kerning (or lack thereof) of this Serta ad has left me tossing and turning.

And twitching.

From back when copy, cut and paste weren't keyboar

From back when copy, cut and paste weren't keyboard shortcuts.

It took 38 years for me to find out about this, then over a decade for me to track down a copy for myself, but now I have it! — Print (America’s Graphic Design Magazine), July/August 1974.
