Body-text fonts, pt. 43: Spectral
Last week: Paraguay 0, Ecuador 0.
Tonight: Ecuador 1, Argentina 0.
We concluded South America’s World Cup qualification tournament with:
The bad news is that tonight, Moisés Caicedo received two yellow cards and was ejected. The second yellow card was extremely doubtful. The referee, who’d been obliged to eject an Argentinian, seemed to be trying to even up the numbers.
I’m sure we’ll appeal to CONMEBOL. Let’s pray that no suspension is enforced.

Having recovered from injury and illness, I mowed the shin-high backyard grass. It was slow going, but painless … until, some hours afterward, my hip and ankle began to trouble me.
Then, today, I threw out my back.
Either I get sidelined due to a foot puncture – or sinusitus – and suffer; or I recover, then mow, then suffer.

The font Spectral is common on the internet, especially on Substack (which only allows, what, four fonts?).
Too small? Click here; read the “Thunder Gun Express” of Substack posts. It’s just a very long summary of Niccolao Mannuci’s very long travelogue and history of Mughal India – the “Thunder Gun Express” of books.
Which I only learned about yesterday. It’s the awesomest book I’ve heard of. I’m not kidding.
Even if the Bible were turned into a wild AI-generated movie, it wouldn’t be as spectacular as this book.
But I doubt I’ll ever read the book, so thank goodness for the Substack post.
Tonight: Ecuador 1, Argentina 0.
We concluded South America’s World Cup qualification tournament with:
- qualification
- a victory over the World Cup champions
- a final position as runners-up (trailing only the aforementioned champions)
- a total of five goals conceded in eighteen games – the joint-lowest total in the tournament’s history
- a streak of five “clean sheets” (games with no goals conceded)
- a streak of eleven undefeated games
