Typography & Fortune Cookies

Don't panic.

Here’s last night’s fortune. I let out a nice laugh after reading it. Is this latest sliver of destiny hinting at some impending doom? I’m thinking it’s telling me something more along the lines of, “you gots to chill.”

Honestly though, as a designer, I have to wonder… why the line break? You couldn’t fit “Don’t panic.” on one line? Really? At least the cookie was good. I suppose I should be grateful that I even got a fortune. The last time I had a fortune cookie with no fortune inside it it ended up being a bad news bears sorta day. I should stop letting the Chinese and their cookies of (mis)fortune control my life. Eater beware. Fortuneless cookies are out there.
