serious question, really, did they really ask that? I know, I know, they live in bottomless pits of ignorance, I know. they didn't really put that question on the screen though, did they?

thank you Mr Holmes!

I'm relieved, truly. it's (kinda) funny, but just not believable.

Yeah I've done a ton of work with typography and fonts, and that is not the font FNC uses, between the talking head and the crawl. That looks like a simple compressed Helvetica/Arial. What they actually use is much more horrible.

I mean, look at that! Would you just look at that?

Look how wide the G is, and the C, and the O... and then look how thin the T and R and E are.

Look at "2012" and notice that there is only a little space between the 2 and the 0, and then, a lot of space between the next numbers. This is called kerning, and this font's kerning is all wrong.

To a font person, the whole thing looks like somebody just vomited the letters out and left them where they landed!!

And then, are they using a black drop shadow on a mostly black background?!

It is an abomination. In fact, somebody did this shit on purpose. So it would be newsy but not slick newsy.

it took me a beat to realize that you're critiquing their real work, not the impostor

Sounds like the imposter did too good a job with the font and kerning. They should've lowered their standards!

Looking again at the original, I would agree that the font and unusual spacing in 2012 is deliberate. I think they do it because they know the resolution on crappy TVs can be really low and they want the final two digits of the year to be legible. The 12 part looks bigger than the 20 part.
