3 most overused fonts

24 Mar

There are tons of posts similar to this, but I thought I’d throw my voice in as well. People use these fonts because they look good, they want their project to stand out and the fonts came with their computer. If you want to make your graphic design, sign, website, or poster stand out, you have to stop using the same font as everyone else is using.

1. Papyrus- Papyrus is a great font and everyone recognizes that. And then everyone uses it. So let’s look for new fonts to take its place and stop using it immediately.

2. Trajan Pro- This font also looks great. It has been used by the movie industry so extensively it is ridiculous. I see it on labels, packages, posters, ads, logos, websites… all over. Stop using it.

3. Comic Sans- Please stop using this font. I have seen this font in every single medium I’ve come across, including power point presentations, brochures, flyers, posters and websites. Stop it, of all the fonts, this one has the most alternatives far superior to Comic Sans.
