You know what, I've been disappointed in the box topper art so far. And this one isn't even the art itself, but the framing. The fact that the janitor's head is cut-off and the entire thing looks like it is off-center really bothers me. It's at the same level as bad kerning. The usual reprint art is eh, fine, like always.

Luckily I still have my old bobs so I don't need to worry about either of the new(er) arts.

I don't know what "bad kerning" is, but given the context, I completely agree. This topper art just looks off.

From Wikipedia:
Wikipedia wrote:In typography, kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. Kerning adjusts the space between individual letter forms, while tracking (letter-spacing) adjusts spacing uniformly over a range of characters. In a well-kerned font, the two-dimensional blank spaces between each pair of characters all have a visually similar area.

anyone else notice how the mana symbols of the box topper are not vertically centered?

It's Just a illusion
