There is a plague upon typography, a pestilence so vile that graphic designers hurl themselves screaming from their office windows at the mere mention of its name — and that’s if they’re in a good mood. A horror so horrifically horrible it could only be called…

From If Fonts Were Cats, spotted by Ian F.

AAAAARRRGGG !!!
…………….. THAT’S ALL FOLKS !
Thank yoooo, Mike. Now I have yet another excuse not to work. Instead, I will be matching images with fonts all day.
De boss man, he will not be happy!
You mean like these?

I am Helvetica!
YAY Helvetica !!!
Actually , I personnally think this creature is very beautiful !
All kidding aside !
No way is that cat real.
Cat is exhausted after being chased all day by the Hounds of Helvetica
Not the hounds of Baskervile?
Brilliant type-casting, my dear Holmes.
WHOA!!! A little typesetting humor, there.
Brillant,260
Pppttthhhh
“I think that Comic Sans always screams ‘fun!’”
But I like Comic Sans!
Me, too HKW!
Me, three! It’s especially good for when I’m typing out the words and guitar chords to songs–it’s large, clear, and VERY easy to read at performance distance. YAY, Comic Sans!
Me four. It’s easy to read!
I like how Papyrus is a Sphynx.
Kitty doing his best impression of an owl, apparently.
Let me guess your preference: Catibri.
Why’d you link to a gimped version of the list?
Here’s the whole thing: http://i.imgur.com/7pBZB.jpg
oh if only i could approve this times infinity!
I’ve never understood the hate for Comic Sans. Yeah, it’s only meant for the screen, not printing and yeah, it’s childish and not appropriate for signs and wedding invitations but the most common complaint seems to be that it is overused. Well, so is Helvetica. And that is all I have to say about that.
Very, very cute cat. Adorable little pink tongue.
there is hate for fonts?…boo on the haters…
Seriously? There is hate for Comic Sans? I use this all the time and have never heard that. (But I don’t get out a lot!) Weird.
Is this where I sign up for Fonts Anonymous Meetings?
Signed,
You REALLY don’t wanna know the length
of time I’ve spent, playing, among typeface options
in the past …..
Me, too, Fird! I actually admit to being a Font Freak. Worked for a few months as a proofreader for a printing company that mostly did business cards–trust me, you DON’T want your card to have words in all caps in any of the “handwriting” fonts! (Unless you are a radio station–just four letters might pass the legibility test, but any more and you’re basically RURNT, as the country folk say.)
Hello, I’m victoreia, and I am a font-aholic.
Hello Victoreia, know that you are among people who understand.
I confess–I too am addicted to fonts. But I don’t want to become un-addicted!
Is it wrong that all I want to do is delicately pinch that little pink tongue?
No one likes a tongue depressor, Gigi.
Oakley, you keell me!
You are right Oakley, I can be a little too wooden sometimes.
*snerk*
a rebuttal is in order

Thank you so much, orange! I’ve learnt so much stuff completely new to me while laughing like crazy
Cuteoverload is so educative
Maybe he just licked the envelope flap for the letter written in Comic Sans…?
PLUS, he’s got a little touch of the ol’ “looking at first, throwing to third.”
Spring Training is ON, Peeps!
Did you hear about the guys and a goat walking to Wrigley Field from some distant location in an attempt to remove the curse? Poor goat….
I don’t see why so many people hate Comic Sans. The name says it all, it isn’t a serious font for business reports, it’s for fun stuff like cartoons.
*shakes fist*
COMIC SAAAAAAAAAANS!!!!!
Comic Sans is people!!!!
Srsly, though, I’m kinda diggin’ the Wingdings kitteh!
heh heh
nice “Soylent Green” reference, A-B
Comic Sans strikes back…. http://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/im-comic-sans-asshole
I’m Suicidally Bemused? Sounds like the name of the cover band down at the Holiday Inn by the airport. BTW, I suspect their audience is too.
“suicidally bemused”
Can I use that?
