You probably have seen it but for anyone who hasn't, this SNL skit on Papyrus is brilliant: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jVhlJNJopOQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jVhlJNJopOQ

  I knew describing an SNL sketch as brilliant would turn out to be a wild exaggeration.

  Ending it with the word "papyrus" in Comic Sans was the most brilliant part.

  I hadn't before now and am going with "yeah, brilliant". I don't think I've seen anything Ryan Gosling's done that I haven't liked him in; to the point of a bit of a man-crush.

  Didn't find that funny but it reminded me to rewatch Font Conference which is great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3k5oY9AHHM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3k5oY9AHHM

Papyrus just reminds me of how little selection there is in the default fonts on Mac OS X. I mean, there could be so much more.

  At least there's actually Helvetica!

Some of these aren't that bad. I think once you get past five letters in a row or start adding apostrophes, it's time to use something else. A couple letters with some customization can work though, e.g. I don't think the Lamb of God logo is bad.
