Reply To: Bad font decisions, yes I’m talking to you Papyrus users!

There was another thread about hand lettering, and now this one.   I just discovered that not only do I use Papyrus often, my hand lettering even looks like it.  Forever un-cool will I be, young skywalkers. 

Here are a few I think we need to develop:

1.  “Carpenter Gothic”– best when used with a dull knife-sharpened carpenter’s pencil, works well on 2 x 4’s (or larger format too)….

2.  “Car Hood Sans”– looks great on curved surfaces.

3.  “Panica Napkin”– a quick one, which while mostly unreadable, gives a great feeling of competence quickly

4.  “Telephone Italica”– only looks good when your head is tilted at a 60 degree angle

Ha!
