Typeface Rant

"IanZ - limited-slip indifferential" (ianz-limited)

The typeface used in the Huayra’s interior is wrong. It’s hella basic for such a glorious interior, and not intelligible to excuse its ugliness.

Look at that. Might as well be Times New Roman Italic . The word that springs to mind when I see it is amateurish . It’s an incongruously lazy choice for such a meticulously designed car.

The escape button is clear and legible. Perfect. But it’s simplistic and I understand if you want something more stylish, Mr. Pagani. You’re a stylish man. But the typeface you picked wasn’t stylish! It’s the equivalent of buying “slim-fit” khakis to look cool.

You even used a good typeface in the LED screen. The Pagani labeling would be perfect for use throughout the interior. It’s legible, futuristic, and blocky, which is what you want when it’s juxtaposed against more organic shapes.

Pick a better typeface, Mr. Pagani. Your cars are worth it.

You sound like my sister, she is a graphic designer. She will rant about the type face on TV ads.

I’m not a graphic designer or anything, but I like cool typefaces and little details like that.

There are also too many conflicting font families in the interior.

It should clearly have been Comic Sans.

Tbh you have a point. I don’t want to buy a multi million dollar car with type face from a 90's wall clock.

I’m sure they could do it for you if you asked really nicely in your order

Hah yea you’re right! It looks like the text that you commonly see on cheap/knockoff electronics.

My friend does graphics on the side. We were playing this game called “We Didn’t Playtest This” and it has completely wacky rules one of which was you have to say “Comic Sans is a great font.” before every one of your turns.

He almost died.
