Adding insult to injury: poorly drawn lettershapes plus erratic tracking
La tipografia di ristoranti a Tropea, 2/2:
Four restaurants, one typeface.
It seems that every other restaurant in Tropea, Calabria (population: 6,800) usesBlack Chancery, which together with Scriptina arguably is one of the most dreadful freebies in existence. How could this happen — do they all belong to the same owner? Did they copy each other? Or is the local signmaking company and its limited font repertoire to blame?

The descending 'P' has been clipped in "Pizzeria". The last line appears to be stretched.
