It’s a font that everyone has seen. It’s a font that designers dread to see. And it’s a font that even non-creatives are tired of…Papyrus.
You bombard us with your “edgy” look, yet it just doesn’t work. You, Papyrus, along with Comic Sans, need to just get together & run away for a while. Better yet, just jump off a cliff. Is that too much to ask?
If you are a designer out there, I challenge you to spread the word. RUN AWAY PAPYRUS & COMIC SANS! We don’t like you and probably never will. Sign a comment below if you will help me push.
And for those that are confused as to why these fonts are so widely overused (and for the wrong purpose at that) you will now start to realize how horrible it really is. You will see the fonts EVERYWHERE. And really “Jungle Safari”, was it necessary to use Comic Sans as your logo font?? I think not. And Celadon, I’m still mad at you…even though I love your store & cheap jewelry.
Post photos of your horrible Papyrus & Comic Sans experiences. I’ll post them as I come across them!
Just a few horrible examples I’ve come across just today alone:
My cotton balls bag…if I didn’t need them so badly, I wouldn’t have purchased them.
I love you Celadon & your store…but do really hate this!
You are fooling no one with that glow.
Couldn’t agree more. Have you seen the open letter to Papyrus on Pr*tty Sh*tty? Pretty good stuff. Unfortunately, we may see a slight resurgence now that the font was featured in AVATAR (all caps)

Yes! It’s great.
AVATAR went seriously wrong on picking Papyrus! Just because it appears they beveled the font & added a back glow doesn’t mean they are fooling us!
Worst font decision…ever.
