  Howto & Style

It's funny how we can hate a font so much only because it's easier to read.

Cool video, but I just wanted to point out that the french word "foundue" doesn't exist. It's actually "fondue". WE WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!

[surfinburdlax]

[gunamy]

i honestly think comic sans is just a normal font that so many people bitched about that people started changing their views on it they hated just to hate and thats fucked up

Really? You went there?

[ben coates]

This is why I buy my own fonts

[TheNICP13]

Oh sorry, they're disabled by default on my account, so... My bad!

[Anusdhka]

My god, Trajan is the shit!

[WiijimmyTV]

He put that in an annotation.

I usually use the rule of thumb "use a font that sounds like the mood you're writing in" i.e. Comic Sans is COMIC, and should be used only where comedy is appropriate
