Protest Typography

Sure, it's hand-lettered, but I'm much more used to seeing poorly-kerned/spaced letting on my political protest banners. What am I talking about? It's this gem.

Almost makes me wonder if a type designer is involved.

along the same lines,
Milton Glaser did this for The Nation....

if you missed it, Glaser v. Barnbrook

I wasn't referring to the site design itself...I was referring to the lettering on the placards by the freeway.
