That font seems quite legible actually. The letters are all quite distinct and apart from the gaps and backward-slant, follow proper typographical conventions.

I would have made the letters monospaced at least (no kerning either), and would have used base letter shapes that look much more alike (e.g., the bowls of the d, a, q, and c should be the same, because slight differences in them help you identify letters more readily, which is precisely what proper fonts do).
Also, does that university actually own their own top-level domain? Those don't come cheap do they?

- erichurkman 8y agoRe: top-level domain, there's a good number of universities on the list. https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db It's about $200k.
- diminoten 8y agoI think it's pretty cool! Would definitely matter to me from a "what school should I go to" standpoint.
- p4bl0 8y agoReally? I would prefer to go to a school that spend money on useful stuff.
- coverband 8y agoHonestly, I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic... Both cases sound reasonable to a degree.
- diminoten 8y agoNot being sarcastic, learning the extra stuff related to managing a TLD sounds interesting to me, and it sounds like this program has someone on it that likes doing cool stuff like that.
