Has anyone created a font as horrible as Comic Sans yet?

I actually kinda like Marker Felt. It's pretty readable if there isn't too much of it.

I saw it used in a company's sign on their building a few years ago and thought, This is going to be the next Comic Sans, isn't it?

marker felt looks good as hell right up there t-b-h

is papyrus the britta of fonts or is complaining about papyrus the britta of typing things into thei nternet

the answer is always the one with the internet in it

i like comic sans, its jaunty

actually i mostly just dont notice 'fonts'

one time i installed some graffiti fonts on my computer and internet explorer got all graffed out lol, rip os9

I never thought about how many annoying fonts there were until now -- Kristen seems particularly irritating for some reason.

yeah a couple of these made me wince

Is there such a thing as a good calligraphy/handwriting font? Like for recreating a fancy document for framing?

I am font-stupid to the maxxx and I have kind of tacky taste and I need someone with discerning taste to point me in the right direction for a project.

typophiles would say Zapfino but i've always found it a bit ugly

it's no Gothic

Speaking of a font businesses always seem to use, this is a big offender, and almost always looks rubbish:

I totally guessed this before even seeing it.
Was actually complaining about it earlier today.

I've seen some pretty bad examples lately, but I feel like the fucking ACT UP website should maybe have a little more typographic dignity...

Ok, in all fairness it's only a few instances, and nowhere near the main page (which is itself marked by an angelfire level html primitivism (that's kind of endearing actually)) but still.

Suomi Hand is an amazing casual handwriting font - especially if you use an application with open type support for automatic glyph switching.

problem is handwriting doesnt look like a font, its irregular w/variations in how letters are written depending on where they come in a word which letter they abut and randomness, so when you have a uniform system trying to imitate that it just ends up looking cloying and fake

that one is p good tho! lol

handwriting fonts just rely on endless amounts of ligatures but its like isn't that a lot of work why not just write things

well if you have to create the font yrself its prob not worth it

Comic Sans is partially responsible for creation of Jerkcity, this fact makes up for every sin that has been committed using this font

The embedded youtube link above is the first time I've clicked/heard/seen the clip for Blink 182's 'I Miss You'.

Zapfino is an illegible tech demo.

Opentype allows for software to automatically switch ligatures depending on context or random choice.
