Fontwatch: Gar Hath Become Sar
O! What a tangled “J” we script. Typographers, Fontographers, and Fontyperaphers alike should delight in the “J façade” refresh recently afforded GAR, Suzanne Tracht’s chophouse situated at 8225 Beverly. In the past, drivers unfamiliar with the acclaimed establishment would phonetically vocalize for blocks, varying between GAR and JAR until one was eventually favored over other. Said drivers will now take comfort in the fact that the muddy water has been substiantally filtered with the recent J Refresh. Indeed, the establishment’s name is no longer a question in the mind of the casual driver: WELCOME TO SAR, acclaimed chophouse of chef Suzanne Tracht!

Special Bloggy Shoutout to My Culinary Adventures for having the foresight to have captured historic “J=G” script
ok, now you’re just trying to bait me, aren’t you?
Never Don. Never!
HAHAHAHA! I am marking this day on my Pentagram 2007 Classic Typographic Calendar (yeah, that’s right…I preordered mine, suckas).
Looks like someone really messed up those bricks behind the new sign too…
Fonts aside, I ate at this place and ate so well and so richly that I seriously nearly puked like a Roman afterward.
Why did they change it and then replace it with something more or less the exact same? WHY?
