The Whole Village ♥'s Papyrus

From Tone:

I was looking for a font that went well with Papyrus for my site when I came across your blog and laughed. I didn't think Papyrus was really that bad, then I started noticing it all over the place. My whole site is using Papyrus including my logo and the books I print, talk about overload. I just thought the font matched with what I was trying to say. But you are right, we use Papyrus as a species too much. I need to ween myself off of this font slowly, is there a 12 step program you know of? Maybe that's a post you can make on your page "Too much Papyrus? Here are the 12 font steps to decrease your addiction". Nice. I have attached a few photos, not for "shameless self promotion" but so you could see what I mean. I hope all is well with you, take care.

Here's a shot of the site, and you can visit it to see for yourself.



Thanks for sending Tone!

close to the perfect place for papyrus

The only thing that would have made this a more perfect place, is if it were on the INSIDE:



Not only is it Papyrus, but they scaled the width down too just so it's even more unreadable. This is a lesson in poor branding. Brand yourself in a font EVERY DAMN NOVICE USES (lookin at you James Cameron) and then make it hard to read your contact information, and THen, THEY uglify a perfectly nice looking dumpster.

Oh, and it's on their website too.
