I can overlook comic sans and I can overlook “tequila lounge” but I can’t overlook both.
A publicist sent this today.
I don’t know how I feel about it. I mean, really? Papyrus?
I totally get it. Wouldn’t make that choice, but I get it.
- Papyrus means Egypt.
- Egypt means desert.
- Desert means sun.
- Sun means solar.
Personally, I’d blame the color palate.

What typeface is that? It’s gorgeous.
Two spaces after a period
TWO. FUCKING. SPACES.
Also, punctuation goes inside quotation marks.
I’m getting that sense of obsessive mantra, S, that indicates a control thing. The screw doesn’t want to be tighter, so stop pulling the wrench in that direction. They used to say playoff A-Rod came about because he’s such a perfectionist, that his obsessive mantra of batting instruction overtook his sense of feel. It indicates you don’t trust yourself, and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. You need to BECOME THE CENTAUR. Or go cruising for chicks with Swish.
And if you’re going to be anal, at least be correct about it.
- If the quotation marks enclose a sentence, the period goes inside.
- If the quotation marks do not enclose a sentence, the period goes outside.
For example:
- Hey, douchebag! Stop spreading myths about imaginary “death panels”.
- Yo, spermbubble! Stop spreading myths by saying, “These are death panels.”
Most of the definitive guides are (at best) agnostic on double spaces after the period. There was little reason for them after the invention of the typewriter and there’s even less in the age of computers.
sixagon: This is for using Comic Sans, you bastard!
I think it’s acceptable in unique circumstances.
The Obama campaign (Gotham! Gotham! Gotham!) really got me thinking about the use of typography in politics.
But it seems to me this one typeface is an entirely organic, grass roots affair. I’ve seen it hand-painted in “God Hates Fags”, and “Abortion is Murder”, etc.
I call it Fundamentalist. It’s thick, blocky, not trusting of negative space or curves, works best at a distance of about 20 yards, not so well up close.
I think it would make a great font. Put it right before Futura.
