Re: The Eight Worst Fonts in the World

I did see this article last week and I immediately read it. I love top (insert number here) lists!

I have to discuss good ol' Papyrus. It's so ridiculous that when you see it out in the world, it's unmistakeable. I never wonder, "Hmm...is that Papyrus?" No, it's an immediate acknowledgement. I ask myself if I'm in Egypt (or looking at something Egyptian-themed) and, if not, usually discount what I'm looking at as awful and/or amateur. Papyrus isn't a completely bad font, but it's just been so abused and overused over the years that it's become untouchable.
