It is because the terminal cut of the g attempts to geometrically bisect the bar of the e, whilst simultaneously trying to resemble a smile.  Those are irreconcilable design objectives. The capital G is still wasting vast quantities of space. I agree, overall, this new typography has a kindergarten aesthetic. It&#x27;s not for me, certainly.<p>However I think the colour blocking and letter shaping on the new favicon is superb.
