      Thanks! I tried to replicate the famous DIN (aka Bahnschrift) font. The anti-aliasing was neccessary to fit into such a cramped space while keeping a slick font. Some say that this is the first antialiased text on this year’s Place - it’s not: other examples include 東方 (Touhou) (where Bad Apple!! was), the “osu!” logo, the “Gotcha anything else?” meme, the entire Charizard card, parts of the Vista UI, the Olympia logo (main German flag above Starry Night) and one I also drew: the Horalky wafer. Antialiasing is worth it if the community is well coordinated and will help against vandalism - it is harder to change one letter into another. This is why we avoided amogusification of the A.

      A big problem with the design is the J touching the logo. I have removed the leftmost two pixels to fix it but copies of my template were left unpatched so IDK if I get to change it.
