Seems appropriate — hattenschweiller could be loosely translated as “suffering severe illness or injury” in German — Wie passend, Mein Gott!… 🙂

All good stuff Steve. Generally, serif fonts do NOT work well in transmitted light environments, however, you CAN resolve this limitation by using a combination of shadowing and glow — appropriate to the BG color scheme AND increasing the leading and kerning values to avoid blogging.

Sans-Serif typefaces are the preferred style for transmitted light and also can be enhanced with appropriate shadowing and glow — leading and kerning caveat still applicable — have the added advantage of beveling and extrusion and even lend themselves to texturing.

Just some thoughts…

Best always,

Carl Street

True, but often you can’t add enough shadowing and/or glow to make a big enough difference. It may not work with the rest of the video. So for the sake of simplicity I divide them that way to make your life easier 🙂

Hey Steve,

Your videos are enlightening and entertaining, as always. Your emails are some of the few that I look forward to receiving.

By the way, what software do you use to create your videos?

Thanks for the continuing great content!
