@MLE_online I was going to say the only font I refuse to do is the awful pseudo-oriental "Chopsticks" font, but the joke's on me I guess because GP ACTUALLY MASS-PRODUCED THAT ONE

A vintage catalog advertisement for a Selectric font ball called "Oriental" with the description "Brings the intriguing flair of the Orient to menus, newsletters, gift tags, etc."

@settinger I feel like I saw that on chinese restaurant menus in the 1990s

@settinger Why would you refuse a pseudo-oriental font? Pseudo-orientalism actually has a really fascinating history.
