Fonts You Can't Stand

UNPOPULAR OPINION: ARIAL IS GROSS

For me, it depends a lot on context. For instance, if I see Comic Sans being used for anything besides Legitimate Meme Purposes (TM), it cheeses me off. Same thing goes for Papyrus and Impact. I really do dislike Arial all across the board though, and while I don't hate Times New Roman, I kind of glaze over when I go to read it just because I'm so used to seeing it on academic papers. I actually never work my papers in Times New Roman, and only convert to Times for checking my length/printing the paper, just because the font is so boring.

What do you mean, you dislike Arial?

I prefer Arial to Calibri by far. :P And over Tahoma or Verdana. xD BUT I don't really like it use past size 10 because then it gets ugly. I write all my stories in Arial size 10. xD

I don't have a problem with most fonts. However, I do have a problem with people posting their stories on forums and formatting it like they format their regular speaking text. I like to read it clean with no differing fonts. xP

“Arial is the poster child for the general typographic decline of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.“

“Arial is little more than a shameless impostor.” [Helvetica rip-off]

Haha I meant for that to be rhetorical since my forum font is always Arial. ;D But sure, whatever! I still prefer it to most other fonts. c:
