The Banksy of Punctuation: British Vandal Corrects Shop Signs at Night
Now a graphic designer needs to step up
Some of you can look at these photos and remain undisturbed:
Enter a caption (optional)But a portion of you see these and they drive you nuts. If you're in the latter camp, you've got a soulmate in an anonymous artist (or vandal, depending on your point of view) in Bristol, England, who spends his evenings surreptitiously modifying these signs with paint and stickers:
As "Grammar Nazis" have been a thing for some time, it's unsurprising that someone would eventually take action. What we'd like to see next is Graphic Design Nazis willing to go around correcting leading, kerning, tracking and mismatched fonts.

I’ve once or twice wanted to become Captain Kerning, and run around fixing signs with horrible spacing errors. This one, though, I’d be content to leave alone. The combination of bombast and ineptitude is pitch-perfect.
Kerning is so much harder to correct though.
