- Grollicus 7y agoAre you talking about lobste.rs or are you talking about this font? https://www.dafont.com/lobster.font https://www.dafont.com/lobster.font Where is it used?
- hybrids 7y agoThey're referring to the font, yes. Lots of people used it in the post-Web 2.0 era because it has a "distinctive" look, which naturally lent itself to fatigue. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/lobster-font https://www.wired.co.uk/article/lobster-font https://web.archive.org/web/20180213181648/http://5in5nyc.com/2012/05/31/dear-startups-lobster-is-the-new-comic-sans/ https://web.archive.org/web/20180213181648/http://5in5nyc.co...
- JohnFen 7y agoI've never hated Comic Sans, and still don't. But there's no question in my mind that it was overused, and -- worse -- often used inappropriately.
- jhanschoo 7y agoIn-between, after Apple bundled Zapfino making it accessible, and before Google Fonts made Lobster accessible, it was Zapfino that was abused everywhere.
- stallmanite 7y agoI have always hated Times New Roman. I am alone in the world.
