All I'm seeing is a monolithic in-your-face all-caps block font that screams BIG BROTHER. Also it's a bit over-spaced and the letters swell outward as though it's puffed up to look extra imposing and dominating the space arou

What's sad is that either (a) the brouhaha is a either a lie ot justify an overpaid designer's pay, or (b) it's not a lie, and Facebook is openly bragging about covertly manipulating its users via branding.
