I joined. I had to. I want to hate things so I will just hate them like this.
What do you think?

PS: Papyrus font is the worst.

Phelim on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amYeah 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.
Dimitrio on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amI totally agree, almost as bad is “Trajan” , the “movie font” - but papyrus beats it tho!
Laurw on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amLOL AWESOME VID!
Buddy on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amSo, I totally just turned in a huge report in Geometry, and I used papyrus font… lol I thought it looked pretty cool
0xC0FF33 on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amit’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! ^^
Jake on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amiJustine…HERE HERE!!!!! I see Papyrus all too much…and it SUCKS!
Thank you for speaking for the rest of us designers.
Diana on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amahahaha, that’s how i feel about comic sans ms. i hate that font more than anything!

Since April 17th I’ve also had to protect my identity. Papyrus FTL! Keep it on the DL..
Sean Cavendish on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amiJ,
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.

Steve on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amWe had this same discussion in one of my design classes. Papyrus is the new Comic Sans!!!
Robin on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amWow!! Now you’ve really lost it. LOL.. Sweet…
shawnscript on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amPapyrus has nothing on Helvetica!
livejamie on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amum excuse me, you go out and make this video and only show one example of it? ftl, ijustine.. ftl :p
Helen of Joy on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 am‘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.
MattCheetham on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amOmg that was hillarious!
I like how brooke casually followed you around with her fingers up
u10int on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amomg 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!
gRegor on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amAll 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.
dojogrl on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amI’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?
Chris D dot ca on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amThat was probably the dumbest thing you’ve ever posted on this blog.
Miiitch on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amI 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.
Victoria on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amNo, Comic Sans is the worst font. Fact.
Christian on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amijustine, 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?
dlr on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amI don’t know anything about fonts, but I think the colors could be better. (I probably don’t know anything about colors, either.
dlr on Apr 27th 2008 at 2:37 amI do have the move Helvetica in my Netflix queue, so maybe I’ll learn something.
And thanks for another funny (as usual) video.
Ben on Apr 28th 2008 at 2:37 amI 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?
Victoria on Apr 28th 2008 at 2:37 amIs your Graphic Design portfolio online? I would love to see it.
shylie743 on Apr 28th 2008 at 2:37 amUm, wasn’t the purpose of the witness protection program defeated when you kept saying you were iJustine?
Eric Nupp on Apr 28th 2008 at 2:37 amHAHA. That was great. So funny and random; I enjoyed it
Was that Brooke following you?
Rylee on Apr 28th 2008 at 2:37 amYour web show is so cool! I only started watching today and I already love it! Just wanted to tell you that!
xoxxo
cmlckies on Apr 28th 2008 at 2:37 ami 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.
Matt on Apr 28th 2008 at 2:37 amI thought I was the only person that despised Papyrus font. It’s comforting to know I’m not crazy.
edgarjensen on Apr 28th 2008 at 2:37 amHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA 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!
maggie on Apr 28th 2008 at 2:37 amyew 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!
Tom on Apr 28th 2008 at 2:37 amI feel really, REALLY bad for the girl walking behind. That had to be embarrassing.
Greg Wilker on Apr 28th 2008 at 2:37 amI 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. =/
Eduba on Apr 29th 2008 at 2:37 amComic Sans is even worse than Papyrus!
Love Font on Apr 30th 2008 at 2:37 amHey…. That’s my font… I just chose it for my logo. But i have to say i like it in lowercase much better.
