Clients love it, but it's overused and you have to change the kerning letter by letter.

agreed. I actually quite like it as a font, but it's become a victim of it's own success.

Truly the Comic Sans of the '10s

I don't know why but some fonts that are nice can become ugly just because they're overused, while Trajan and Helvetica doesn't matter so much that they are used everywhere.
>>
>>295731

Came here expecting Lobster, was not disappointed. Fuck this font and all the businesses who use it. Ugly as sin. Also, Product Sans and whatever others try to be Product Sans. Too bland and also overused as fuck.

Product Sans is pretty actually pretty decent anon. What are you on about?
Not sure if you're interested in a sincere discussion but do you actually know what makes a good font?

Also, classic, Papyrus.
And Souvenir. Garbage cans in my country are actually labelled in Souvenir. Quite suitable

Stop triggering me shitlord

In this case, "bad" in my judgment is exactly what I said: bland. Sure it works for readability (like in an article or long block of text) and it has design consistency, but both of those things can be said of Comic Sans as well. To be more specific, I really don't like its usage in logo and actual graphic work. It's one of the fonts/font styles that I seem to see more and more nowadays and it's making everything the goddamn same. The new Google logo is less visually interesting than my prolapsed hemorrhoid.

Always down for a reasonable back-and-forth. Though I will admit I haven't been formally trained in graphic design so I don't necessarily have a full grasp of what does constitute a good font. Being self-taught at most of this stuff, I'm driven primarily by aesthetics.
>>
>>295474
It's watercolor/brushstroke so it's meant to be quirky like instagram/pinterest tier taste, that's why it's so prominent

Like most 'bad' fonts, It has a purpose but it is overused and usually not appropriate.
>>
>>295963
It's a default font in Premiere I believe. I remember using it a bit too, when I was a little noob. *shudders*

I have a friend in school who runs her own etsy and EVERYTHING she does looks like this.
