A print-out of fictional addresses lying beside a pair of scissors and a couple of CDs at the desk of the local post office. The addresses shown were printed to demonstrate the usage of a basic Troff-based software program for printing address labels; the actual recipients who ordered the CDs are, obviously, not visible in the picture.

This picture was taken to demonstrate the functionality of a basic Troff-based program I wrote for printing off address labels to stick onto parcels. Clarendon was chosen as the typeface due to its legibility and the fact it isn’t one of the overly-generic base fourteen fonts.
