Heh. Well, I wonder if it's that the Charlton lettering is basically "naked" enough that it's not really there for me, whereas the fonts tend to be conspicuous, having been designed as an art of their own. Or maybe I just don't like Piekos's style.
But yeah, I have an increasing interest in design work, possibly because I find myself doing more of it (thank goodness my current job has thorough branding specifications, by the way--made me look like a genius while taking a lot of the software's design right out of my hands).
