I just found this tonight. If I was not as poor as I am, I would buy you all this shirt:

And I never have the urge to buy people t-shirts.

I like the video AND I’m a fan of Trajan.

Nah… nothing wrong with using it over again. It’s free, you don’t pay for licensing, and it’s tried-and-true. It’s not “unique” enough for people to notice it, like Papyrus or a script font, which are obviously stylized. Same thing with Arial or Myriad – I use those a lot, because they are tried-and-true and look good with about anything. At least it’s not the other end of the spectrum, i.e., using some wacky “fun” fonts from some obscure website.

Speaking of Papyrus, I’ve been taking pictures on my cellphone of every instance of Papyrus I run into… the number is getting big now. It’s so funny how people think it’s so unique.

Ha! That’s quite funny. My list of banned fonts includes:

Comic Sans, Papyrus, Trajan, Apple Chancery, often-times Arial and Verdana, Curlz MT, Harrington, and Scriptina (unfortunately, because this is a nice font, but it’s becoming THE script that people seem to use everywhere now)

Some favorites I’ve discovered lately are Distro, Folks, Metalista (haven’t used it for anything yet – I just really like it) and Anivers – the list could go on, but those fonts have served well in situations where I almost gave up because I didn’t think anything worked.
