Thanks for the link to exljbris, the calluna font is looking quite nice. I also enjoyed the trajan hate video.

I agree with you on most… but Cooper Black is not being bandied about. It is a gorgeous and largely forgotten font. I have used it once in the last few years and have seen it twice elsewhere this year. As for Comic sans… I hate it and have never used it. I said to some one once I would never be able to be a health care worker in Holland. The reason is comic sans. It’s everywhere. And for that very reason I am planning on pushing myself to rise to the challenge and use it for something this year.

Herman Zapf might be on the list again soon with Zapfina :D No overkill there yet… but just the thought… brrr! But lets not forget the fact that he did give us Palatino and Optima.

I think Scriptina should be added to this. I’m sick of seeing it. And when you have too many looped letters, it looks retarded.

Too right you are. I’m in high school and every single bloody time we hand in papers someone thinks that they will magically become more clever in they write their three page fuddyduddy essay in papyrus font. I have to smother the urge to strangle the shit out of them. It’s Cochin all the way for me!
