What's your most hated font? Every time I come across a document or email in Arial I just want to change it right away. It's so bland.

I hate comic sans with a passion and secretly judge people who use it, particularly at work

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

comic sans should be used on legal documents to take the edge off.

I once saw a detailed ecological survey map by a qualified environmental consultant using comic sans. I may have shed a tear.

It would just make me feel more litigious

At this point they're trolling the haters.

I'm shocked people still use Comic Sans in this day and age.

Oh I've seen it. In multi colour and blink.

Calibri. Geez just makes me raaage. I am quite partial to Railway but I don't hate Arial

Calibri is great for spreadsheets - I use it for excel shit. The numbers are beautiful. The font I haaaate is Bodoni.

The font on the old theme I was using on the website was some serif font where the lines were all the same thickness.

There was something about it when doing white text on black what was just too heavy and hard to read
