       | It's such a great font. Easy to read, attractive, nostalgic, and
       | the thick letters reduce eye strain. I don't see myself switching
       | away any time soon.

       | I made it the font on my webpage too.

       | If you try it, make sure you set it to 12pt/16px or a multiple of
       | those.
