Check out this sign on an apartment building in my neighborhood. It sucks.
It's okay if your girlfriend's stacked, but stacked type can be a real turn off.
It’s not that stacked type is in and of itself a bad thing, but stacking lowercase type is criminal.
Don’t do it.
The end.

I know this may sound like a newbie response, but whay is it bad to stack lowercase text?
Good question! I’ll write a post about it soon. Thanks for giving me another article!
Stacked type, especially all lower case type, is very hard to read at all and nearly impossible to read quickly. Our Western minds are accustomed to reading from left to right and anything else requires additional mental effort.
