Nice illustration Gare. I think you succeeded because those typefaces are inappropriate for that use.
Thanks, Larry. Typography is something I feel is under-considered in art. Actually, I worked very hard to get the look and feel of a prescription label to force the contrast between a subject that's serious in tone, and the goofy fonts that totally undercut the message.
Here's another "criminal" use of the wrong font for a message.

Fonts are what you dress your words up in! :)
My Best,

excellent render :thx
Thank you! More and more I'm living in Luxology modo for 3D stuff, because it uses a physically-based lighting and camera system. It takes getting acclimated to; I'm completely ashamed of the first 6 months of renders I pulled before understanding physics!

I told a friend of mine that I'd been busy working on a Mackintosh all day. He said, "I thought you used Windows."

Rennie Mackintosh was at the forefront of the Scottish Arts and Crafts movement Circa 1920s. His furniture was not comfortable but then I guess Art isn't always a comfy place to sit upon. Gary P. turned me onto the typeface turn-of-last-century, thanks Og!

I like the furniture it looks good.
Thanks, and I don't remember who created the typeface, but it's pretty representative and authentic compared to Mr. Mackintosh's furniture and other appointments.

There was a famous Architect who I can't remember the name of who also designed furniture, which your examples remind me of. Anyway my secretary just loved his stuff and it also looked very uncomfortable to use.
