In the person with all the Zs defense, I doubt their name starts with a Z, they were most likely using the Zs to connote sleeping.

I’m a big fan of experimental typography. I wouldn’t mind having letters all over my walls, but not to spell out anything, and certainly not my initials. I’d prefer showcase pieces of my favorite classic fonts (oh, Bodoni!), placed at odd and artistic angles to each other, to show off the fluidity of the lines (Bodoni italic “f”), the serifs, or the perfect roundness of the “o” (in Futura’s case). How about that Caslon upper-case italic “Q”! To die for!!!

Sort of reminds me of the monogramming of objects, kind of a Palm Beach aesthetic. But I agree, some of them are very, very nice, “S”. I like this variety.
love, “L”.
