Description: Great type is rare and bad is commonplace, but what about the truly horrible? These are the typefaces that make our world an uglier place. My non-designer friends may think I'm over-the-top on this one, but some of these should be considered a blight on society. ( Edited by karj )
Tell us what you think....
I remember a song called 'GERMAN BOLD ITALIC' by Towa Tei and Kylie Minogue... a song about a typeface!! lol... fascinating collaboration...
There are no bad faces... according to Spiekermann. Every typeface was developed for a reason, even comic sans! It would be an interesting design challenge to restrict yourself to use only the so called 'worst' faces. In my opinion the worst typefaces are generally the free faces. There are usually many problems with x-heights lining up correctly, character width consistency, etc. I would rather use Papyrus or Comic Sans over gratis fonts any day!
Am I the only one who hates Gill Sans? I mean. comic and papyrus, sure. but i dont like gill with its funny little i
I just remember the time I had a debate with my well educated aunt about why comic sans was the worst font ever. She continued to debate that it was the best. Saying, "Its pretty." Its about anything but pretty.
I actually received the worst resume I've read in 24 years. All in Capitals and Papyrus. oh man, crumpled that up fast
Hobo should make the cut too!
