I think it's pretty eccentric. It's like the next evolutionary step of a P.

I kinda like it. It's quirky. Looks kinda like a Q grafted onto an I. What word is it a part of?

It was part of a sandwich sign for "Tan Rio", which I guess is some kind of tanning salon. I should have snapped a pic of the whole sign, because this R was even uglier in context: all of the other letters were made of squares and rectangles except for this one. A brilliant example of "outsider typography" ;-)

I'm with Devin here - it looks like a Q with a crutch under 1 arm. I appreciate the "uglyness" of this piece of typography.

I was thinking of a P with a cane.
Fantastic.

Hmm, a crutch or a cane... either way, this letter's got a serious handicap! ;-)

Did you find this in Portland? Look what I found on 10th Street yesterday: a certain handicapped R.
