"This font was about to be thrown in the trash bin, but an invitation for an art upcycling project called “Art Swap” (Prater Galerie) gave a second chance to the file. Memesque is a fork of [Epilogue](https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Epilogue) (2020, Tyler Finck, ETC) by [Raphaël Bastide](https://raphaelbastide.com/) using [Skelefont](https://gitlab.com/edi8th/skelefont). It was generated as a draft in May 2024 for a project that eventually never happened. The font has been chosen for Art Swap by Raphaël Bastide for the exceptional accumulation of “default” compared to what a “good” font is supposed to be. Indeed, the font is overly bold, with bad contrasts, its glyphs are cropped, it has a very bad kerning, and suffer from many other graphic inconsistencies. Nevertheless, it exists, and can even be seen as a tribute to the contemporary meme imagery and typographic signature. I believe it can be usable in some contexts (no idea which ones).
