Typefaces have personalities
If their personalities don’t match the essence of your business or message or text, you can create a conflict which distracts your audience. We had fun below creating some absurd and extreme examples of bad font choices to make a point, but they are based – at least in spirit – on examples we’ve come across over the years. Hyperbole? Indeed. Fun? Of course! So browse through these lovingly-typeset typographic wonders and consider font choices a little more closely on your next design project. NOTE: Please put your coffee down before reading the commentary. You’ve been warned.
