See, now why use decorative fonts for accents when you can use it everywhere?!

F Resolutions. Make Your Reservations!

After all, resolve is for presidents. We are weak- and hungry. So let's eat here:



I mean, I think that's a restaurant. Looks inviting!

Speaking of inviting,
this was the sky at twilight,
the last time I became convinced
that I would die
someday
soon.



Wait... That's for the other blog! Where I put this:



Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear!

Typographic Irony

We got a submission from Andre...
Hey Joe,

Thought you might wanna know that even Steel Restaurant & Lounge knows a good font when it sees one. Check out the clean, understated treatment of their logo with hard-as-nails font Papyrus in place. Nothing says stability, reliability and durability like Papyrus--and Steel understands that!

I think the emphatic "Never Settle." tagline is really what pulls all of this together. I'm pretty sure it's as much a comment on your eating experience at Steel as it is a warning to choose your fonts carefully when communicating your brand.
Settle for anything less than Papyrus? Never.
It's almost like a styrofoam peanut manufacturer doing it's logo in Copperplate. Thank you, Andre!
