This font is horrible… if uyou expand it to any great extent you can see it was very badly made… the lines at choppy and uneven.. it’s really terrible.

Hi Meph,
I just tested the font and I disagree. I made a 10×10 inch document both in Illustrator and Photoshop @ 300dpi and typed a few random letters (CXA) and the lines are crisp as you can get. Are you zoomed in at an odd percentage like 16.7% or 33.3% or 66.7%? Many people don’t realize that odd zoom percentages will make fonts and graphic appear to be aliased or choppy and uneven, but this doesn’t mean the font is badly executed.

I had the same experience as Alex when I downloaded it.
