@FontsInUse@typo.social @nicksherman@typo.social Haha yeah it seems like this is up there with those excellent uses! In case anyone is curious: I haven’t seen a satellite view of the maze (yet), so I used Google Earth to measure the height of the “DRINKING” field and estimated that the caps are 70–75% of the field’s height, which is 39m to 42.5m. The 148,600pt size I listed includes Fit’s built-in whitespace—the font size required to set a cap of that size, rather than the point size of the cap itself.
