When I look around, I see disorder in the world—needless chaos and messes. I sense panic and stress.

In fact, I feel it myself. It rattles my soul and gives me a headache and a sourness of the stomach.

This is because everywhere I am assaulted by sloppy text that is displeasing to the eye.

There is no respect for proper letter spacing and font choice. Letters are squished together,

piled up, overlapped and jumbled. They are inappropriately and self-indulgently tracked out.

People mix typefaces with incompatible type styles.

Or they think, “Why use a simple, clean typeface to convey an idea when you can use three or five or twelve.” This is wrong. This is sad. This is an affront to a cultured society, and it must be stopped.

Immediately, before everything is tossed away to an angry wind. Order must be allowed to thrive, to flourish, to bring us into a tidy harmony.
