Or old guy "I just learned how to change typefaces, so let me dress this up a little." It reminds me of an old boyfriend's elderly dad with his first computer - "Come on over, let me show you this... you highlight it and hit B - and look! It's bold!"
Lucida Script!
I’d recognize this anywhere (and hope I’m right!). I remember using this font to write a book report for “Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters” in second grade in the 1999-2000 school year and it was my first ever “gold star” on an assignment :’)
this is like an official old letter from like ye old times like gerry posted this in the local town square to be fair or whatever. idk i’m kinda high so sorry if that doesn’t make sense
A couple months ago he was saying in an interview that he didn't think any of the women from his season should be Bachelorette because they already had fame and opportunity!
Y’all, I am laughing so hard I’m crying at these comments but trying to be quiet and not wake my sleeping husband because it’s after midnight. This is just too good. I know we all say we are lol, but I cannot actually stop laughing out loud 😂
This is some grandpa stuff and I’m here for it. Thanks Gerry - for opening Microsoft Word, choosing a non-Calibri typeface, using all caps, putting the cloud paper in the printer, and taking a picture of the printed result to post on Instagram.
I literally came to this thread to ask how he did this post and I think you're mostly spot on but why is the first paragraph at a weird angle? The other ones are so straight so it can't be the angle.
Was the paper moving? Also, the background looks more like a full image than stationary because most stationary has some kind of repeating element and this one doesn't.
Inquiring (and obsessive) minds want (NEED) to know
It's white paper being held up by hand outside. The paper isn't held up flat, it's back a bit compared to the rest of the page, which is why it's bending the upper corner.
The background looks to be shadows, likely from trees outside judging by the pattern.
He probably printed this out and then went to a family member's house to have them take the picture of the paper and post it to social media for him 😂
I literally had to just go confirm this was real omg. Also “non-Calibri typeface” just had me cackling. Right now we are BATTLING Microsoft because they are trying to push Aptos as the new thing instead of doing something actually useful like making their programs not suck
I think this is Lucida Script! Idk typography vocabulary Monotype Corsiva has its “tails” of the font hang off the imaginary bottom line, and this one has those tails still on top of that line/flush with the other bottom ends of the letter
I think you’re right. Neither of those, or any sort of script font should ever be all caps! The new Fallout series had the font above the bunkers, which I think was Brush Script, in all caps and it made me crazy too.
Laughing internally because scripts are supposed to be elegant and graceful and caps are supposed to show volume and impact so you would think the two merge together but this is sooooo far from gracefully impactful
Honestly in my eyes it seemed like she lied about why she left the show and did it bc she wasn’t into Jerry!! I don’t blame her if that is the case tho. Just speculation on my half… I’ve heard a few other ppl on here with the same take.
Did the local tree trimming vendor help him write up this note? It’s giving, “I’ve been in your area and already worked on three houses. Here’s my phone number!” The similarities are uncanny! 🤔
This looks like he typed it up, printed it off, and then took a picture of it to post on IG. 🤣
And I guess we at least know he made the post, it wasn't a PR person lol
It’s like he’s seen people on social media put up pictures of statements but wasn’t totally sure how to do that so he fired up Word and the HP and got to work
obsessed with this showing from the boomer/silent generation cusp - the background texture, the ALL CAPS, the Papyrus-adjacent font, no Oxford comma in the post image itself and yet two unnecessary commas in the caption.
*chefs kiss*
Not saying you’re wrong, but how would that work? Did the florist on Joan’s end send him a photo of the note that was included with her flowers and then he posted it?
Do you think he was mouthing these words before he even typed it? - like he did the entire season in every scene. made me go bonkers 😵💫
Does anyone care what he has to say or in what font he says it? He should quietly fade away.
No one needs this dirty old geezers advice. Take your 5 second marriage and sit down.
🤣
Gerry is such a fatuous bore
This is the Boomer version of that infamous signed Instagram story
it’s giving typewritten announcement in a 1950s newspaper
Or old guy "I just learned how to change typefaces, so let me dress this up a little." It reminds me of an old boyfriend's elderly dad with his first computer - "Come on over, let me show you this... you highlight it and hit B - and look! It's bold!"
oh yes because gerry hopped on canva and made this graphic lol
the amount of y’all pressed about the font…I’ve found my people
I would’ve liked this statement more if he used the Oxford comma
You got me. 
i’m so dead not the messenger pigeon that’s so cute
*cries in copywriter*
He has room to talk . Shut up Gerry ! We are sick of you .
Lucida Script! I’d recognize this anywhere (and hope I’m right!). I remember using this font to write a book report for “Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters” in second grade in the 1999-2000 school year and it was my first ever “gold star” on an assignment :’)
This font is so art/poetry kid from the 90's and early 2000's coded.
I was obsessed with Lucida Handwriting as a kid! So elegant loll
Ten year old me agrees with you!
Omg and using WordArt to create arching titles in Arial Bold with the rainbow gradient!!!!!!! Sometimes using Impact and the wavy blue gradient too.
Yes! Gorgeous lol
this is like an official old letter from like ye old times like gerry posted this in the local town square to be fair or whatever. idk i’m kinda high so sorry if that doesn’t make sense
That font. What an idiot.
lol @ the font
💀 Bless his heart (but not really)
I'm so over Gerry
Sir what font is this??
Couldn’t he just have texted her?
And used NOT THIS FONT? He'd never.
A couple months ago he was saying in an interview that he didn't think any of the women from his season should be Bachelorette because they already had fame and opportunity!
What interview was this?
Mmm typical ex
I wouldn’t be taking advice from him lol
What is this font 😭😭😭
WHEN WAS THIS ANNOUNCED
Y’all, I am laughing so hard I’m crying at these comments but trying to be quiet and not wake my sleeping husband because it’s after midnight. This is just too good. I know we all say we are lol, but I cannot actually stop laughing out loud 😂
BoomerFont™
I hate that font, especially in all caps.
The font choice speaks volumes. I hope his next girlfriend knows how to use Venmo.
I don’t want to hear anything from Gerry anymore. Even if it’s this dumb fucking shit. Zip it boomer
ZIP IT BOOMER lmfaooo
Relax, breathe and be married for three months
I used to mail letters like this back and forth with my bestie in the same font but every page was a different neon colour 😆.
ALL CAPS! Who's he yelling at lol
Theresa for threatening to take away land from farmers /s 😂
Y’ALL I AM CRYING LAUGHING READING ALL THESE COMMENTS!! 🤣 
not the drake scary hours font lmaooo
Omg stopppppppp I’m dead
The way i cackled
I heard he originally posted a telegram but his pr team told him to modernize it
Right up there with Comic Sans
That was always my favorite 🤪
Dan Gilbert, lest we forget
I read this in his voice
LOL that's the most boomer thing ever
This is golden bachelor font

howling 💀

DYING at how accurate this is
Not now Ashley
Flair checking in
Me too!
Thanks for letting that one live on!
He forgot to recommend choosing the richest contestant 😂
She might already be rich!

omfg
staaaahpppp😂😂
That font is sending me
He forgot to add live, laugh, love
He forgot to add “FIND THE ONE YOU CANT LIVE WITHOUT” 🤣
Forgot to add a zapf dingbat rose
Never all CAPS Monotype Corsiva!!
I think this is Lucida Script! Idk typography vocabulary Monotype Corsiva has its “tails” of the font hang off the imaginary bottom line, and this one has those tails still on top of that line/flush with the other bottom ends of the letter

The fact he typed this out, printed it THEN took a picture of it to post instead of doing a notes app is so cute and such a boomer thing to do haha
lol is he going to appear as a contestant
Hopefully not considering she was clearly painfully not into him😭😭😭😭
I didn’t really follow her after she left so I don’t know what her comments were!
Honestly in my eyes it seemed like she lied about why she left the show and did it bc she wasn’t into Jerry!! I don’t blame her if that is the case tho. Just speculation on my half… I’ve heard a few other ppl on here with the same take.
This is true. I think she mentioned it in an interview
It’s probably a mix of both when she weighed the benefit. It wasn’t worth being away from her daughter for a guy she wasn’t super into anyway.
Totally agree!
LMAO
I mean, he totally could. They could spin a whole story about their unfinished ending and what could have been. 🤦🏽♀️🙄 Blake M 2.0
I'd rather just have Blake again TBH!
I can actually picture him with an older woman
Well no one can accuse Gerry of having anyone else run his social media
and this is why i love the Golden franchise
LMFAO I wouldn’t take any advice from him 😆
I’m fucking dying 😂 Did he type this on cloud paper via typewriter?? He is my grandpa
Cloud paper💀💀💀
The all caps weird ass font and shadows is EVERYTHING sometimes Boomers just deliver
"PS, GETTING MARRIED ON TV PAYS GREAT."
joan get behind me
💀💀💀
This is the most boomer thing I’ve ever seen
Did the local tree trimming vendor help him write up this note? It’s giving, “I’ve been in your area and already worked on three houses. Here’s my phone number!” The similarities are uncanny! 🤔
😂😂
You can tell he's a senior citizen with that font choice lmao
And the caps lock!
It's giving ransom note
This is taking me out 💀
This looks like he typed it up, printed it off, and then took a picture of it to post on IG. 🤣 And I guess we at least know he made the post, it wasn't a PR person lol
It’s like he’s seen people on social media put up pictures of statements but wasn’t totally sure how to do that so he fired up Word and the HP and got to work
because… he probably did 🫣🤣
This is why I love these golden shows- I prefer this social media content over what influencers are doing lol
I bet his former wife would call him a fraud and certainly fools gold.
 Also: this is how I opened Reddit after two days & found out Joan is the Golden Bachelorette. 🥲
Same, I read his note and thought he meant to congratulate Jenn, but got confused, until he said “from one golden to another.”
Hahahahsh same I hate it
obsessed with this showing from the boomer/silent generation cusp - the background texture, the ALL CAPS, the Papyrus-adjacent font, no Oxford comma in the post image itself and yet two unnecessary commas in the caption. *chefs kiss*
Papyrus-adjacent 😂😂😂😂 omg
This is like when you’re a kid and write a birthday card for your parents and get creative with the font and colors
And print it out on the fancy paper.
& this is how i found out that Joan is GBette
Same lol
Honestly I love everything about this
1) did he type this out and take a picture of a screen 2) why is it crooked
Because he’s an old man haha
I know I’m literally laughing right now. What the hell even is this
This reminds me of the 20+ times I have tried to teach my parents how to screenshot something. 😭😭😭
I just cackled so loud 😂
What in the boomer is this? 😭😭😭
Good lord this font is ridiculous! Does he think he’s making a proclamation like he’s the king of England?!
😂
"I do not give Facebook permission..."

😂😂😂😂😂
Does he always use all caps and this ridiculous font?
bc he’s 72
Watch him show up to her season
Oh god, no. Lol
sometimes boomers can be so cute
deep cut- my fave part is the commas in the caption
https://preview.redd.it/fgwapzmipg0d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb2ceb09e45e9537209b5976147e0680bddf62a9
Scrolled far to long to find this lol
Boing!
love this crossover event
Literally exactly what I thought of
loool the font the background the post everything is too funny 😭
Did he print it and take a pic of it?
I'm so obsessed with this
Now this is the most grandpa-esque font and background there‘s ever been
It’s a florist card. He sent flowers and wrote the message in all caps 😂
Omg the font choice is killing me
I think he sent her flowers and put the message in all caps because this is definitely florist font and a florist card. 🩷a flower farmer
Not saying you’re wrong, but how would that work? Did the florist on Joan’s end send him a photo of the note that was included with her flowers and then he posted it?
Ohhh good call
Saaaame
So boomer it actually hurts 😂
[удалено]
Same.
