DP Guilty of Typographic Offense



To Michael Gold, Design Editor at the Daily Pennsylvanian:

Dear Michael

We, the students and faculty of FNAR 266, Typography, are outraged by the negative letter spacing in the headline "Prof will join admin" on the cover of the April 13 issue. 

These letters need space! Your  kerning—it must be minus 100—is unacceptable! Typography is primarily about space: page space, word space, line space and yes, letter space! Someone needs to speak out for the space between letters and we, the members of this class, demand that the quality journalism you practice extend to the design you produce.

Sincerely, the students and faculty of FNAR 266, Typography.
