Ugh, I got an e-mail from a new acquaintance in Papyrus this week. Blue Papyrus. Why is it that people over forty-five think this is socially acceptable? If you wouldn't write a letter in all caps using a pink sparkly pen, don't do it electronically. Don't you know I judge you, just like I judge you for having aol.com addresses?
Cannot get enough font rants. Teach the world, Dr. No, of the pain of excessive serifs, the fluff of kerned sans. Thank you for making the world an easier place to read.
As a frequently disgruntled University professor I have started this blog to vent my frustrations. I can express my anger here, or unleash it upon my unsuspecting colleagues and students. For the sake of continued employment, lets give this a try.
on a ppt slide, that wacky font shit makes my blood boil

ReplyDeleteI nearly pissed myself when I read this. And I'm a fairly healthy 20-something male, so well done.
