I don’t even know what it’s called, but I really hope it goes the way of Comic Sans
Edit: does anyone actually know what this awful font is called?
It's either this shit or the fucking humanoid robot in every tech related post touching a holo screen showing completely pointless and unrelated data
I dislike the font, but I REALLY fucking hate what they're doing with food. It's like they're all using the same horrible model that has never seen hashbrowns and BBQ sauce. You ask midjounrey for a steak, it makes you a convincing steak. It's like every restaurant in every country is set on tryptophobic food
this is an insult to comic sans; that ai font is way worse than it
You're absolutely right to push bwck on this, it is a dogshit slop-font.
What else can i help you with today?
The essential qualities of a good typeface balance visual beauty with practical function. This is just plain ugly and makes Comic sans look elegant. Using this crud is as acceptable as attending a funeral dressed as a clown.
That's more like using Comic Sans for the obituary
I know multiple people that would want clowns at their funerals
I've been absolutely shocked walking through city centers and seeing these fucking AI flyers everywhere. Boycot whoever uses this shit and pay your local artists and graphic designers.
I am in Japan right now and they were selling postcards with AI images. Not even art made by humans...
I've seen that in a city I visited, three seperate shops with those and people were still there browsing
A few of the half decent, small YouTube channels I follow started using it in their thumbnails as a way to polish up their channel. Little do they know is all it does is suck the soul out of their content.
I have developed a rule for myself. If I see a channel using genAI in their thumbnails, it goes on the do not recommend this channel again list.
Me with anything LTT
Meanwhile I was using a similar font on a lot of designs the last 20 years, and now it was basically stolen and can't be used anymore 😭
A YouTuber I used to adore has gone to this shitty ai thumbnail format in recent months, so I've stopped clicking on him 😞
I got fed up with that thumbnail font/format a couple of weeks ago and just started blocking every channel that was using it. I didn't expect it to help much, but it has.
This is an insult to Comic Sans
Yeah, Comic Sans is actually useful.
Is this Comic Sans Italic?
Why is it that all AI fliers look like this though?
Because they made that the default look for flyers somehow
This is an insult to comic sans. Comic sans is a good font and helpful to people with dyslexia
Comic sans (originally designed for a comic dog character) is an awful typeface. It is constantly misused in serious settings such business contracts, medical notices, and legal documents. In the UK many schools use it. It is as appropriate as wearing a clown costume to a funeral.
Using it makes any professional design look childish, sloppy, or amateurish
There is very little peer-reviewed scientific evidence that Comic Sans inherently improves reading performance for students with dyslexia.
It's a good font, but only for silly things
Fascist tech-bro slop font? Just in case it doesn't have a name I'd like to throw this in the ring.
Fascism Sans
Damn good
Octoberfest this year had a lot of stands, all with the same AI slop posters. I bought a burger from a stand with just a handwritten sign. Felt good.
What gets me is they're all the same style. Do they not see that their posters are the same as everyone else's??
Anyone competent enough to understand that effort is a vital component of modern marketing is already steering clear of AI slop nonsense. It's the stupids that are left believing that doing something as cheaply and easily as possible won't reflect poorly on their business.
and good lord there's a lot of stupid people out there.
Is it actually a font? No same letter looks the same - look at every 'S' for example, they all differ. Very similar but not the same. Maybe its just slop?
There is a real font called road rage
Yes! It feels like every second restaurant in my area has suddenly gone with this font and AI slop images for their menus. Lets call it Tragic Sans or something like that.
I see that, I go elsewhere.
I was JUST thinking about how I see this on a bunch of ai slop and slop adjacent stuff recently!
It's weird be cause you would think that whoever makes these should have the common sense to see if it's a bit too obvious or too typical. You can use just about any font in existence in AI by just telling it to use that font, but lazy ass people choose the crypto chud font.
Effort? From slop consumers/peddlers?
You'll have better luck finding ice in the Sahara.
I personally didn't think Comic Sans was bad, just overused, especially in contexts where it didn't belong. (Funeral homes should have been banned from using it by industry regulation. They never did that. Anywhere in the world. This is why we need multinational legislation.)
This font, whatever the hell it is called, besmirches the good name of hand lettered sign painting and advertising that was common in advertising before computer typography. Have you seen old hand lettered ads? Unless they were in great hurry, they never left brush edges visible to this extent. It looked sloppy.
Wrestling-Sans
Slop font is way worse than Comic Sans.
