Well it's just splayed across the cover there in a super basic typeface. Times New Roman or Georgia or something. Too big. The period doesn't even fit.

Not gonna lie it kind of looks like a mixtape. A far cry from the detailed cover art of good kid and TPAB.

Have you noticed Kendrick has a thing with punctuation? Every album title has been stylized in a very specific and strange way except for TPAB.

It's not "Good Kid, Mad City" or even "Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City" ... it's good kid, m.A.A.d city ... this leaves several questions, but the one that really gets to me is, why is there no period after the "d" in m.A.A.d?
It's not "Section 80" ... it's Section.80
It's not "Untitled, Unmastered" ... it's untitled unmastered.
It's not "Damn" ... it's DAMN.

That kind of stuff makes me think the font and typeface were chosen deliberately, and for a reason.
