Public Service Announcement

I spent the past weekend in Charleston for a wedding and brief respite. While there, I couldn't help but notice the prevalence of Papyrus (the typeface) employed on many signs, restaurant menus, plaques, and brochures. This is not surprising. It's such a crappy typeface that people can't help but play a cruel joke on the typography geeks of the world by promoting its use.

My birthday was on Monday and, thankfully, no one gave me any birthday cards set in the Papyrus typeface. Don't get any ideas folks. You know how deep my well of hate for Papyrus is.
