The quick brushstrokes of Cortado provide a fitting aesthetic for Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed, a Netflix documentary about the beloved painter and TV host, and the legal battles between his son and business partners after his death.

The promotional images use Cortado’s ss ligature but not its contextual alternates feature. In the film’s title sequence, the ligature is not active, and the subtitle is tracked out, creating unfortunate gaps and crashes between the letterforms.
