You Can’t Bank On It
2007 January 19

Okay, so I hate Comic Sans as much as the next guy, but this is pretty clever: So a real bank, with bank-quality type, closes up shop. Then, the space is acquired by a 99-cent store with a sense of humor. The owner calls it the “Bargain Bank,” and the ugly, yet appropriately low-budget lettering is set above the original marble facade, communicating the entire story with graceful clarity. It’s perfect and I love it; I just don’t want to look at it.
