Your favorite/least favorite typeface(s)?


Skibop!!

Recommended Posts

What are your favorite and least favorite typefaces? As a designer, I notice I stick to a select few lol

 

Favorites:

 

Century Gothic. I use this one A LOT. I know some think it's childish, but it's more sophisticated. It's so versatile. You can use it in children's books, but also as body copy. I use it on my personal website. I always preach "Century Gothic is the new Helvetica." :datass:

 

Georgia. My go to web-safe serif font lol. I have it on my resume.

 

Trajan Pro. I love the look of it, though I rarely get to use it.

 

Garamond. This font has been my favorite for years, it's so pretty. It's a classic, but I also feel it has a bit of femininity in it.

 

Least Favorites:

 

Mistral. It's so friggin ugly, I can't stand it. It's just no. :omgwtf:

 

Helvetica. (NY, Nueve...) Ever since I watched that movie Helvetica my freshman year, I've been against the typeface lol it's so boring to me. I only use it if I need a sans-serif badly. This issue came up in a website I'm working on now. Being the rebel that I am though, I used Arial instead lol

 

Impact. It's fine for the memes, but other than that I avoid it. It just looks awkward when used for body copy, and then you always have to kern the letters because the spacing just never wants to come out looking even.

 

Comic Sans. The AIDS of the design world. It's not appropriate for anything except for maybe children's books and digital comics, but even then, there are better alternatives.

I love Myriad and Times New Roman. Georgia for my tumblr themes looks nice. Arial Black in all caps for headers and stuff is nice too.

 

I hate Tahoma, Verdana, Comic, and Arial is rarely useful.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add Comic Sans lol

Georgia is like my default, but for school-related things I've had to stick with Times New Roman.

In my videos (see sig) I use Georgia and Delusion.

Is that a dafont font? If we're talking dafont, then of course my fave is the one I use for my logo on all my graphics/videos:

lol that's the opposite for me. I watched it in art class in 6th grade and I've loved it ever since.  I really like Helvetica Nueue Ultralight.
