Might be shite, might be great but your sick of seeing it everywhere. And please dont mention current Microsoft fonts as they are already crap.

I'll start:

Din
Dax
Copperplate
Lucinda
Monaco
Papyrus

(and most script based fonts)

oli · 17-08-2006, 07:08

Agree with dax defo.

Narate · 17-08-2006, 07:22

Barmeno

sub · 17-08-2006, 07:43

Helvetica condensed
Trajan
Avenir

Limbo · 17-08-2006, 08:16

Futura - It's a lovely but I have to use it all day long becasue of the 'sector' I work in demands it.

Monotype corsiva - it comes on windows.

stickmus · 17-08-2006, 08:28

Verdana at large point sizes - it's just wrong.

pedge · 17-08-2006, 14:49

Arnold Boeklin

Mr Fred · 21-08-2006, 07:04

Frutiger, gill and snell roundhead.

gray · 21-08-2006, 07:15

Mr Fred · 21-08-2006, 07:48

Transmogrify · 18-09-2006, 19:05

How about fonts I can stand?

Comic sans

Varelse · 18-09-2006, 19:54

Re "can't stand" ones:
- Impact
- Verdana for print and in big sizes (it's already been mentioned in this thread)
- Denmark/Handel Gothic
- Lithos
- Serpentine family
- and of course Comic Sans (bah, it's still alive!)

John Good · 19-09-2006, 01:42

Someone trashed Eurostile ?
please no recycle for this font, just burn the whole package.

steveb · 13-02-2007, 15:31

Oh, Eurostile Extended will be back when the next 60s revival arrives. I like it still.
I dislike Egyptian faces (slab serifs), brush scripts, and Optima - which I used to like but now I associate it with a certain bank which I would prefer to forget. Rotis and Eras because of overuse.

Mr Fred · 13-02-2007, 15:38

yeah frutger aint so bad.

Mr Fred · 13-02-2007, 15:39

thin and massive though

kbarrett · 13-02-2007, 16:49

Microgramma.
I used to work for this company and I swear it's all they ever wanted to use.
Bleh.
