The kerning on the 'i' is off (look at the 'B' 'i' pair), the upper 'I' is indistinct, the ascender on the lower 'l' is grotesquely higher than the cap height (look at 'P' 'l'), and the lower 't' and 's' look like the bastard children of Eurostile. I think it's a mess.

There's a reason everyone tweaks Bitstream Vera; it works. Novelty sans fonts aren't the reason Linux typography sucks.



I'm okay with the high lowercase L, but I am with ya re: the lowercase T and S, they ain't so great.

Is it just me, or did the lowercase T come straight from the Twitter logo?
