I’m a graphic designer by trade, so my hatred of those fonts is professional in nature.

The hard part is getting my fellow filmmakers to understand that design is important, and that if they’re not going to give it the care it is due, then they should have someone else do their titles.

Hey, Marshall… where are those pants I ordered?

You’ve managed to hit upon my three “cardinal sin” typefaces: Papyrus, Comic Sans, and Curlz. I think we may have been separated at birth — or else we share a Vulcan mind meld. Either way, it’s nice to find a kindred spirit in another industry. Here’s hoping your message gets spread around.

COULD NOT AGREE MORE. You can do little other than pronounce “library” without the first “R” to lose my respect faster than using Comic Sans for anything, ever. Engaging it even for satirical purposes (which I’ve been tempted to do once or twice) is unwise–I’m not a Bible reader, but I do know that he who touches pitch, even to cast it away from himself, will be defiled.

I often contemplate having a son and naming him Garamond. Could call him Gary. It would rule.
