Top Ten Worst Fonts
I live in fonts. I love some, like others, but over the years have found quite a few that I would prefer to see the dentist than see their ugly serifs. Straight to the list. (drum roll.)
10. Times New Roman - yeah, I started there, and yes, I do not like this font. (see company of unexpected success despite themselves.)
9. Lucida
8. and her cousin, Lucida Calligraphy
7. Courier - and Courier New, new? really? new? give me a break, we don’t use typewriters any more. and I don’t need to make a one page essay appear to be 7 pages for a college introduction course.
6. IMPACT! - Nothing ruins a good design like the image of an elderly man with ear hair screaming the text on the screen like the impact font.
5.Wingdings (1, 2 and 3, and if there are more, then all those as well.)
4. Bookman Old Style - boor-ring!
3. haettenschweiler - what is this even named for? An unsexy comic female super hero rottweiler?
2. Montype Corsiva - don’t ever use this, ever. I dropped a client because they wanted this font as their logo.
1. Comic Sans - please join the resistance.
