If You’re still using these Fonts… You need to stop. – The Mission

If You’re still using these Fonts… You need to stop. – The Mission | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Like most rational people, I’ve never been a fan of Comic Sans. In fact, I die a little inside when I see that this font is still used on some websites and blogs! Comic Sans makes people bounce. It’s that awful.


But like I said, some fonts are even more offensive and awful. Here are 10 examples Carly Stec over at HubSpot came up — I made a visual out of her list because you have to see these bad boys to truly appreciate just how much they need to die....

Bad fonts apocalypse now! Kudos to Larry Kim.

Stephen Buckley's curator insight, January 22, 2017 10:00 PM

This piece by Larry Kim is both important and comical. The article is about how some text fonts can be visually displeasing and turn off people who are visiting a web page. Notably, Kim compares the text font on a web page to the style of clothing a person wears. He argues that people will immediately think someone is "cool" if we like their style which he then argues that it is exact same paradigm with text fonts. Kim along with the help of Carly Stec from HubSpot have noted 10 fonts that "need to die" in the article. Although this article is an opinion piece and is not credible, the topic is extremely relevant to anyone who has a say in what text font is being used in any form of communication. I personally do not think that the need to cut certain text fonts out of our lives is a new idea. This is a topic that should be discussed at design tables before a font is used.
