I hate Abaddon even more than I hate Brush Script.
I also hate Arial, Balloon Bold, Meta, Comic Sans, Papyrus, Curlz, Banco, Serpentine, and that one blackletter font I can never remember the name of.
Not that I’m opinionated or anything.
Love…Jill

I don’t mind fonts – they rend to keep themselves to themselves and have never done me any harm.

Live and let live I say (puppy-eyes)

[Jamie Wood]

Gilles Gothic, Arial, and particularly Hobo. Ugh.

… and particularly Hobo. Ugh.

Oh, I don’t know, he was one of Cooper Black’s friends after all.

[John Wilson]

When it comes to weeding it has to be Algerian…. pain in the rear

Small txt on the sleeve with that font is murder 🙁

[David Rowland]

I hate all the fonts on a "1500 Font CD Collection!" that you might find on some dodgy ebay site

[Craig Brown]

2 fonts walk into a bar and ask a pint of Ale

the barman says

"sorry we don’t serve your type in here"

oh and it’s boat owners who want their boat name all in Brushscript capitals

Boy!
Jill! you certainly have some issues,
Although! I must say I do have a slight hatred for (:) Balloon Bold (hot)

[Neil Davey]

Murray Hill, 20 or so years ago the pub chains used it too death.

Brody or Brophy?? similar to Brush Script……

and Bank Gothic.

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I also hate what people do to fonts.
Stretch, squish, arch, squeeze, countless special effects.
Microsoft Word is responsible, I tell you.

[Mike Grant]

I love to hate Old English. But I really love it when I see names tattooed all in caps on people. :rofl: :you:

[Lynn Normington]

my pet hate is Algerian 👿

[David Rogers]

Oh, not forgetting ‘SLIPPERY’ / ‘SLIPSTREAM’ the ‘go-faster’ font that nearly every ‘EXPRESS’ business uses.

All CAPS Old English.

Generic Mediterranean restaurant

Bizarre fonts to denote the EXTREME CRAZINESS of the sign.

Script fonts – with open kerning…(lazy . stupid ‘signmaker’…no…let’s rephrase…plotter operator…)

The ‘pipe’ style fonts that certain plumbers / gas fitters seem fascinated by…

I totally agree Jill, Microsoft word made everyone into a designer…..not!

I am a great believer every font has its place, but some are just to pants to use, as said Comic sans takes some beating as the one below does

hmm how about the forum fonts that have changed a few times over the last 24hours lol

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Three fonts that I initially loved but am now sick of are Letterhead fonts.
Sarah Script, Esoteric 3, and Boston Truckstyle.
I just see them too much, no offense to their designers.
Like I said, I used to love them.

[Shane Drew]

I can’t add anymore to these. I was thinking freestyle but I see martin as included that.

My biggest pet hate tho is all uppercase script words. I refused to do one the other day, lost the business but I didn’t want to be associated with it.

I told the guy, I’ll design the sign, you go back to doing what you do… He thought he could do both 🙄

[Robert Lambie]

I hate all the spandex, "GERBER Edge" styles… OK not necessarily the font itself. but when i see the old desert/sky effect etc on fonts and so on… im like oh please… to add insult is seeing it in half font tiled only 24 inches high!

saw a bus done in it today which brought it too mind…

OK, got that off my chest, back to Fonts in general. 😀 😉

[Nigel Hindley]

I have very strong feelings about Crille and none of them are good!

[Martin Cole]

Strolling round Lakeside and saw this 😮 unbelievable choice of font, think it’s called Champion in SL

It looks 10 times worse in real life than in the photo

Who ever suggested and signed this off should be ‘hung drawn and quartered then shot, then banned from using a computer.

Poor pic quality 🙁

Yes but Martin it just looks so ladylike!

[Craig.Tiley]

We were discussing this the other day on another forum, I don’t see everyone’s problem with brush script, Sure its ugly and you cant modify it BUT isn’t it refreshing when a customer comes in and knows exactly the font that they are after?? It saves you time instead of fannying around picking a font and as soon as they say Brush Script you can show them a quick alternative that is better and bada bing bada boom you are a genius! I like it, apart from when i forget to weld -And if you say that has never happened to you, you are lying! :lol1: 😮

[Derek Heron]

been driving past this for a while and it hurts my eyes
haven’t seen anything this bad for a while apart from the pizza Gareth hankinsons mrs cooked for him

That sign looks great on paper, but crap in reality!

[Gareth Hankinson]

4hrs took to cook that masterpiece! Magic

[Derek Heron]

what about the pizza how long did that take

LOL, yeah, I agree with that. Why do people think it’s OK to use a script all in caps?

Algerian, Hobo, Dynamic (really quite offensive and can’t imagine when it could ever be used appropriately!) Champion is, as mentioned, an ugly script. Oh there are loads that irritate me. I especially hate to see text stretched, especially when it’s stretched in height to within and inch of it’s life to fill the high top above the back doors of a van! 😕

I’d forgotten about this one. A company round the corner uses it, and it really does
look rotten.
