tasty blog snack

1st post ftw

wiredest video ever !!!

Yeah but iJustine, you know what i saw the other day? A shop that had its name written in Myriad Set across the front….i stopped and stared in the street for like a minute.

weird Justine is awesome!

PS. Papyrus suxxs bollocks.

I totally agree, almost as bad is “Trajan” , the “movie font” - but papyrus beats it tho!

LOL AWESOME VID!

So, I totally just turned in a huge report in Geometry, and I used papyrus font… lol I thought it looked pretty cool

it’s not the font, it’s how you use it. every font can be great if you’re good enough in integrating it… but the weird video is great! ^^

iJustine…HERE HERE!!!!! I see Papyrus all too much…and it SUCKS!
Thank you for speaking for the rest of us designers.

ahahaha, that’s how i feel about comic sans ms. i hate that font more than anything!

lukeb3000 is on a 1st post frenzy!

Since April 17th I’ve also had to protect my identity. Papyrus FTL! Keep it on the DL..

iJ,

I’m a huge Papyrus fan, actually, but not in orange caps against a red background. I find that Papyrus works best with a slight drop shadow, and 0xC0FF33 is correct in her assertion that its integration is everything.

I liked that.

We had this same discussion in one of my design classes. Papyrus is the new Comic Sans!!!

Wow!! Now you’ve really lost it. LOL.. Sweet…

Papyrus has nothing on Helvetica!

um excuse me, you go out and make this video and only show one example of it? ftl, ijustine.. ftl :p

‘Tis not the style but the content.

Ahh, but style and content, as one, is the limit.

Written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond.

Oh, Joy.

Omg that was hillarious!

I like how brooke casually followed you around with her fingers up

omg hilarious! i seriously can’t stand papyrus font and get really irritated when i see it out in public. it should be banned from any public usage where we all have to experience it!

All these comments and only one points out that Comic Sans is the worst font? Wow.

P.S. Yeah, Payrus sucks, but not as much as Comic Sans.

Misspelling “papyrus” sucks, too. I FAIL.

I’m with Diana and gRegor–Comic Sans outsucks Papyrus. I once told a classmate that her term paper looked like it was written by a second grader because she used Comic Sans, and she cried!

PS–is it me, Justine, or were you rockin a UK accent during parts of that video?

At least it’s better than Comic Sans MS.

That was probably the dumbest thing you’ve ever posted on this blog.

I agree with Leon, I would rather see Papyrus than Comic Sans MS.
But otherwise, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. Even though it’s only 10:20 in the morning. Blah.

oh come on now, it’s not that bad is it? Ok it is.

Papyrus sucks p****.

Done and done.

OMG. Font geeks are HAWT.

lolz yah that font is ugly my fav is sweet pie or A&S speedway

papyrus is a fug font for noobs. :B

No, Comic Sans is the worst font. Fact.

ijustine, I am with ya’ on that one. Which is why I’m so down with my new Helvetica mug. I wrote about it here: http://www.civies.net/blog/2008/04/25/helvetica-mug/

p.s. are you married?

funny video, and I agree that font SUCKS!

I don’t know anything about fonts, but I think the colors could be better. (I probably don’t know anything about colors, either.

I do have the move Helvetica in my Netflix queue, so maybe I’ll learn something. And thanks for another funny (as usual) video.

I don’t know much about fonts, but I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to give away your name and location when your in the witness protection program. What crime did you witness anyways…too much use of the papyrus font?

The worst font on the planet is Comic Sans. It must die.

Is your Graphic Design portfolio online? I would love to see it.

Um, wasn’t the purpose of the witness protection program defeated when you kept saying you were iJustine?

HAHA. That was great. So funny and random; I enjoyed it
Was that Brooke following you?

Your web show is so cool! I only started watching today and I already love it! Just wanted to tell you that!

xoxxo

i agree with you about papyrus, justine. it sucks.
but i also think that comic sans ms sucks more. my 6th grade english teacher used it on EVERY handout she gave us, and i practically barfed everyday when i went to that class.

I thought I was the only person that despised Papyrus font. It’s comforting to know I’m not crazy.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA So you’re in the witness protection program too. How’s Mr. and Mrs. Pacman doing. Are they still in the program also. I heard they had some spooky characters chasing after them. I did not take the 30 mile treck to Cambride for ROFLCON I was to busy for feeling like a stalker. Besides who could recognize you in that disguise. I dress like that all the time, even dawning my sun glasses at night. Cambridge sucks! I hate papyas! They taste gross!

yew rock my sox, iJustine! but *sniff* i do like papyrus font….. V.V but that’s ok! we hav our oppinions! oh, kudos to ur shades… LOVE THEM! lol….. *awkward* tata! p.s. i luv ur vids!

I feel really, REALLY bad for the girl walking behind. That had to be embarrassing.

I remember when I first notice this font all over the web and at coffee houses. At one coffee house I took a sharpie and filled in all the crack like areas. The next day the owner was a little upset. =/

I’m just saying… PAPYRUS! lol

Comic Sans is even worse than Papyrus!

Hey…. That’s my font… I just chose it for my logo. But i have to say i like it in lowercase much better.

Totally, Papyrus is ridiculously overused. It always bugs me when I see it out&about. Whenever I see I’m always like ‘PAPYRUS? AGAIN? D:’ and everyone thinks I’m weird.
