I’m not the first or only person who has strong, strong feelings about fonts. In fact, there are a lot of images floating around the web that were created by people who share in my font feelings…
Some advice: don’t settle on the first font you see. Type out the word or phrase that you’re looking for a font for, copy it, paste it several times, and experiment with fonts. Here’s a sample of what I’m talking about:
Do you see how each font has its own personality? Let me tell you the perceived personalities of some of the world’s ugliest favorite fonts…
1. A brace-faced fifth grader working on her book report.
2. Anyone and anything who is trying to put off an international and/or cultural vibe.
3. A bubbly girl who loves hot pink bubble gum and cute, fluffy things.
4. That letter from Santa or the Tooth Fairy that’s been typed to maintain an alias.
