Hee! I laughed so hard I snorted…I feel the same way about Papyrus. I work at a college designing flyers, mailers, etc. for our department events and when people bring me stuff they typed in Papyrus and then used CLIP ART(!!!), I throw up a little inside 🙂

I found this link on Pinterest, and my gosh. I think I just fell in love with you! I totally Laughed out Loud reading this post, not just in a token LOL kind of way, but literal laughter, to the point my dog got up from her bed to investigate the disturbance.

So I checked you out… It’s L.O.V.E! If we knew each other- we would be friends 😉

What a beautiful site! A gorgeous family and life you are living! I’ll be back!

I love your font snob series. My husband and I are typography junkies. I have 3 little ones and find it difficult to tear myself away for ‘adult’ time. Recently my husband and I drove out of town for work (as photographers) but also to go play first. We checked in at a lovely resort, sat down at a 4 star restaurant inside the resort and were handed menus…did I mention it was FOUR STARS?? My growling stomach just about came through my throat when I looked down at what I was preparing to be the most beautiful menu of all time…it was written in comic sans…in BOLD! The horror. We didn’t even have to utter a word, my husband’s eyes met mine…luckily he sees the humor in my madness so his were full of laughter and he grabbed my hand and we left in a hurry…we hit up a whole foods and ate under the stars on somebody’s grassy hill…and there was no comic sans in sight! Thanks for the post!

Just a friendly FYI for anyone downloading … the Steelfish font, only some of the font family is free. Scroll down and you’ll see the bottom 7 fonts are the free ones in that family 🙂

In reply to lechatnoir. BEST. STORY. EVER. I read this in the middle of the playground at our church, and I was laughing out loud at my phone. Just FYI. I would have DIED. TWICE. and not in the good sense of the phrase "I die." that's terrible! And hilarious that you were so mad. I would have done the very same! Awesome. Let's be friends.

This is the second font snob post that I have read and after I read the first I had my own experience with comic sans and I feel compelled to tell you because you would understand how ridiculous the situation is: I am a veterinary student, which I take very seriously as a professional as I will soon be a Dr. and it’s expected that the professors will act with the same professionalism as well. Well, my ENTIRE virology powerpoint lectures were written in comic sans…I just about fell out of my seat when I saw it. By the end I could not even stand to look at the slides anymore, and unfortunately I could not change my copy as it was copied to PDF. So I stared at that stupid font for probably 30 hours of lecture and for countless hours of studying. Finally by the end of the quarter I was so excited for the class to be over – a lot of which was because that font.was. driving. me. nuts. Only to sit down for my final and find out that the ENTIRE EXAM (all subjects not just virology) was written in comic sans. As soon as I saw that I was so furious that I couldn’t even look at the exam for a few minutes. To most people I was probably irrationally mad, but to a font snob like me it was as if the test was a joke and the professor did not take us seriously as professionals at all. Please please please DO NOT use comic sans in any sort of medical curriculum!

In reply to Haley Ledlow. Hey girl! I asked my sister in law, who lives there, and she has no recommendations. She said you should go to Calico Corners and ask them-they should be able to recommend a few. Any of the local fabric stores, for that matter...I hope that helps a little!

In reply to d e n i s e. Hey girl! Well, honestly I'm only handy with a Mac, so that leaves out most of the population, and I think varies with each computer. I'll think on it, though!

In reply to Nicole G. Ha! there's nothing more frustrating than sharing a planned event with people who don't get the snobbery. Or even worse, they try to be snobby about all the wrong things, and you disagree. Never ending nightmare!
