Collecting interesting fonts and typefaces? Cool.
Not paying attention to where you’re using them? Not so cool.
School officials apologized after an X-rated font was used on a third-grade spelling packet handed out to parents. The font showed male and female stick figures in provocative poses to form the letters of the alphabet.
Officials with the Monroe-Woodbury School District in Orange County apologized last week after parents at Pine Tree Elementary School were given the spelling packet at an open house.
Administrators said the teacher did not use the font intentionally.
Evidently, the teacher didn’t realize the font was “racy.” Given that a number of the parents in the class didn’t realize it either until they got a letter of apology lends some credence to this. (Includes a graphic of the “naughty” cover page.)
