Could it be brilliant

Could it be brilliant publicity for an affordable American vernacular type that is very popular right now?

Not enough people care about the price of fonts for this to be brilliant publicity. Now if he claimed to have induced numerous abortions, photographed the results, and was going to project it all onto bloody letters in an academic gallery…but I digress.

Well I guess we can add that

I don’t get it. Is he hoping someone clicks on the wrong link now? I’m assuming it’s a joke, as Tiffany’s link still works.
