Good gravy. At first I didn't realize what was going on because I thought the doubled lines was a fault of my own sight.

Perfect for heavy drinkers. *sigh*

It's too much to hope that that was sarcasm, isn't it?

It better not be too much to hope. The comment is too cleverly worded to take at face value.

All I can say is "Bark Ale", because that is what it looks like.
Coloring the cans is an interesting concept though.

"It is my first interation in typography design..."

Hey, at least the designer knew to call it an experimental display font.

Rarely does merely looking at a font leave me dizzy and nauseous.
