The page cheats a bit: the font contains "TO THE" as a single char "&" instead of composing the words from 5 letters.

- mjgoins 17y agoIs that why it requires js, and looks like "Back < & Future" if js is disabled?
- silvestrov 17y agoThere is no JS whatsoever on the page. And it still looks correct in Safari when JS is disabled.
- bengl 17y agoThe font is specified in the CSS with @font-face, a CSS2 feature. Perhaps the browser you're using might implement this feature using JS.

- ZeroGravitas 17y agoAlthough that's cheating, you can achieve the same effect by creating the glyph and replacing any letter that's only used once (O, H or E in this case) with it. The other characters in the font can be blank. Therefore it works both for those that interpret it visually, and those that interpret the text. I've seen this suggested for replacing a brand name with a logotype.
