LOL Love it! I agree with you on your top 5 fonts to never ever ever be used again. Ever. Period.

Papyrus makes me twitch. Thanks for the giggle.

  I have always enjoyed finding Papyrus in those random locations on products and advertising.

I recently walked past a sandwich shop with it’s vinyl logotype on the window clear as day. It was pastel blue Curlz. Nuff said.

  Remember, this is not about clarity. It is about fonts that are over used. There is literally millions of fonts. Why not choice something that fits you better, than just picking what is simple?
