Judge Frank Easterbrook of the 7th Circuit criticized Chicago attorney Jason Epstein for using the Bernhard Modern font in a court filing. In a published opinion, Circuit Judge Easterbrook stated that the font is more suited for movie posters and was used in the title sequence of the 'Twilight Zone'. Epstein, who has practiced law in Chicago for over 25 years without complaints about his preferred font, defended his choice, referring to it as 'mod'. The court's disapproval highlights the importance of appropriate typeface in legal documents.
