In another life, I was a graphic designer. Probably not a very good one, maybe I made some shitty local concert posters and designed logos for area businesses. But I do have an inner voice that likes to criticize certain design aesthetics. One thing that drives me nuts is the use of shitty fonts, most notably Papyrus and Comic Sans. A quick Google search reveals I am not alone:
Big Bad Book Blog: Fonts that make you look lameWall Street Journal: Typeface inspired by comic books has become a font of ill willPapyrus Watch - a blog devoted to documenting and exposing the overuse of the shitty Papyrus font
Ban Comic Sans - the same thing, except for Comic Sans
Is it weird that a font can make me angry?
