I don't know, Jakob. I don't anything anymore. When we were first getting to know each other, it was so fresh, so arousing. I felt like we on the verge of creating a new Sweden. A Sweden 2.0, if you will indulge me ... as you have so many times before ha ha.
But now you come to me with a font made out of meatballs? In blue and yellow, no less? This is akin to the pizza boxes emblazoned with the swarthy, mustachio'd chef saying "Mama mia, I sure love a-beating my wife!" It's reducing an entire culture down to a delicious yet insulting stereotype.
What next, Jakob? A dingbat font featuring a flamingly gay member of the Moderate party? Or the heaving, sweaty bosom of the inventor of the Tetra Pak? (I'm making these up but you get the idea.)
Don't get me wrong, you could probably earn a nice living selling the Meatball Font to corporate America (which you do not seem to respect but whatevs). There are plenty of receptionists and HR representatives who are constantly on the lookout for wacky new fonts to liven up their invitations to birthday celebrations or office potlucks.
But is that really what we set out to do, Jakob? Is that what our dreams truly held? When we lay upon that field of Swedish hay? Dreaming?
