Typeface Hell

Here’s a hot tip: DON’T USE PAPYRUS!

Since its creation in 1982 this stylized font has graced everything from nail salons to the logo for the movie Avatar.

What began as rub-off characters from Letraset eventually made its way on to computer screens and now has become the latest salvo in a barrage of overused fonts. Even the designer who dreamed up the Papyrus typeface has complained that it’s gone too far.

Let’s stop the madness.
