Three fonts which must die: Comic Sans, Lithos, and Papyrus



Attention humans: Please avoid using the following awful, overused, poorly-designed fonts: Comic Sans, Lithos, and Papyrus.

Arial and Times are bad enough, but if you really are so severely limited in your font selection that you actually have to use them, be my guest. Just don’t try to “spice things up” with the other aforementioned craptastic three.

Oh, here (and here) are a few others to avoid, for similar reasons having to do with good taste.
