When Ugly Works

I say get over it. Because if it works, who cares?

For example

Some might be horrified by what the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee mailed recently, for example.

It arrived in a white, No. 10 closed-face envelope. "DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS," "JAMES CARVILLE" and "DO NOT TAMPER WITH OR DESTROY" are printed in various point sizes of Courier type in the corner card. Above a faux label design around the addressing, "— AMERICA RESPONDS —" and "Deadline: August 15" are printed in red in a serif font that looks like Palatino. At the bottom right corner of the envelope, in small Courier type, the package is personalized with "DEMOCRATIC SUPPORTER NO.: 000903088" (my actual member ID). A lot is going on for a No. 10, but as a whole I think it all works together.
