1. Comic Sans is the bad joke of fonts.
2. It's nothing like arial in any way.
3. TTF is a horrible font format, with no real standards and thousands of corrupt fonts.

Summary: My guess is that you don't work with fonts much.

Rick Diculous · 08-21-2010, 06:55 AM

I Like the 28 days later font.

CaptainHowdy · 08-21-2010, 07:40 AM

Times New Roman...

Mr. Cool Ice · 08-21-2010, 07:46 AM

arial bold

Nubiles · 08-21-2010, 07:49 AM

Why did every one hate Comic Sans so much? Overused?

1) says YOU!

2) Yeah, thats what I said LOL
3) uh-huh nanner... windows machines have no problem reading comic sans

your guess is correct, I do not work with fonts much. Our designers do and I make sure to not make any suggestions like "Use comic sans when writing ' adorable teen girl gets her brains fucked loose'"

I still like COMIC SANS THOUGH!!

so there :P

of the famous traditional fonts used in print publishing i always end up choosing 'Century Gothic' - also like 'Times New Roman' for a serif font.

as for display fonts, i like retro fonts, the Ed family from House Industries, a bunch from CanadaType, and I like the handwritten doodle fonts like Pointy.

Large font is sure easy to read. This is the best font to use if you want to get a lot of attention. You can use it as a marque of a store or concert building outside. Large font can be seen from 100s of meters away.

Small print is rarely read. Be careful what is written in the small print of a contract. You might see an advertisement on the bus or subway and it has small print. People literally have to go within a few inches of the text to read it. A person with poor eyesight cannot read it.

GAH · 08-22-2010, 02:36 AM

This is probably the best list I've seen compiled:
justcreativedesign.com/2009/03/04/the-top-100-best-fonts-of-all-time/

Fonts like Arial and Impact were designed to look good on a computer screen, not in printed form, and the Times family was designed by Stanley Morisson for The Times newspaper, good for short columns and does not fill in when printed on newsprint paper, but how many need a font for that purpose? So they should always be ignored really. Most of the free system fonts that come with a computer are rubbish and a nuisance.

Publishing houses limit their font library to around 10 text families, and most go for Helvetica, Frutiger, Gill, Adobe Garamond, Sabon, Bodoni, Univers, Minion, Futura and Optima.

Then there are those for headline fonts and House Industries are coming up with the best new ones, especially great handwriting fonts like Ed Script and Studio. I would suggest you go to identifont.com, type in ones you like, then look for fonts by similarity. G-Type foundry have a great reputation and Olicana was a must have as is Sovereign. House Industries are coming up with lots of new ones that everyone likes and their Eames is a big hit with magazines. Avenir Next, Meta and The Sans are the new Helvetica. SabonNext and Arno Pro are the new Garamond.

Hotrocket · 08-22-2010, 09:28 AM

My fave fonts come from http://www.letterheadfonts.com/
not any free ones there but the fonts they have are spectacular

But since most of us show our work almost exclusively on the web I'd say your statement is completely invalid for this discussion. If this were a board full of printers and publishers what you say would fly a lot further I suppose, but we're mostly all webmasters here. Anyone working in design that is specifically done for the web (and thus seen only on computers) should have no problem at all with several of the standard fonts like Amp and other designers have mentioned... Arial, helvetica, impact, TNR, verdana etc.
