  Nah, should be Papyrus, it pretends it’s a return to tradition but it’s really just ugly and racist.

    OK I love that fonts stir up such strong feelings in people… but racist? How tf is a font racist?

      I’m mostly kidding with that one. It’s a tiny fraction of why that Chinese takeout font is racist, it’s (very lightly, in the case of Papyrus) the way a foreign script looks to someone who doesn’t actually understand how to read that foreign script rendered as a latin alphabet. Like yeah, I guess that’s a valid argument but I am in no way cancelling papyrus and nobody should care about this argument, lol.

        I thought you were kidding but I just had to know lol. Like to make a case for Papyrus being racist you’d firstly have to say who it’s being racist towards, and it’s just a bit… vague… for that.

      don’t you know they write on [with] papyrus in Egypt and therefore it’s african and african means black especially in statesia.

      we don’t write in black, we write in charcoal. because black just makes me look whiter.

      that’s the best i can think up, sorry.

  Times New Roman is precisely what Trump admin wants. You know, since the far right has a hard on on the Roman empire.

  i wouldn’t argue with comic sans personally. i hear it’s a good font for some types of dyslexia. i’d rather have more people be able to read it than look dignified.

    There are other even more dyslexic-legible fonts that IMO look better
