2. Well, all type becomes unreadable, if gets small enough. But you can carefully choose that moment, or just let it happen. Probably someone else will tell you.
3. Better to pay attention to the bus when you’re close, and not to the ads on its flank. There is a reason they make them red.

Another small thing I realized is being taken away by AI. Insignificant in the big picture, but still another AI killjoy.

When my kids and I see handwritten text, we try to see if it was a font or true lettering. I'd point out if letters were exactly the same, or if perhaps alternates might be at play. If not, it was probably lettering. A fun little game to play with so many letters around us in the real world.

But AI today seems to make its own "lettering" when generating text in an image. And this adds enough irregularities in the letters to make it seem like handmade lettering. The initial joy of "hey cool, they took the effort to craft something" is now being extended by "...or is this AI generated". I don't like it.

Art/Typography question: MC Escher signed most of his work with a glyph that looks like this.

I once knew the whole alphabet in this form but am failing to find it online. Can someone help me out?
