Quick Yves!

By the way, where do you live?

unknown

I thought you really lived in Typophile, didn't you?
No, just kidding.
I was amazed because it seems you are always on line. I thought you probably live in Europe... and bingo...

;-)

Jos�, I noticed you called this font "strange". It looks that way because scripts like this are not intended to be set in all caps.

unknown

Oops. Should have checked that before posting.

There's an Italian restaurant in the Twin Cities called Buca that uses Brush Script in all caps for its name/logo. The food is very good, but I am always a bit horrified when I see their sign.

unknown

Oh. I guess they're not just around here any more. (It started in Minneapolis about 10 years ago.)

unknown

I am based in Europe too, and yes, everything they say is true.. Everything.. :-)
( Sorry, for getting this even more Off Topic.. )

Lots of menus set in Zapf Chancery too, another font that looks particularly hideous in all caps.

There oughta be type police that hand out summons for things like that... quality of life crimes as we call them in NYC.

unknown

Patricia, were in NYC are you? I'm an upper east side Manhattan type. Remember to keep your voice down Mike might fine you if you yell too loud

unknown

Upper west. Hello over there...

No particular thing to mean. Just synchronicity.
