What is a worse use of type?
Papyrus as the logo font in Avatar. Papyrus in Avatar
Or Dan Gilbert’s( the Cleveland Cavaliers owner) letter to the fans in Comic Sans. Cavs Owner Letter to the Fans
I’m going to have to with Dan Gilbert’s letter to the fans. Unless you are 10 years old Comic Sans should never be used for anything and ever then I would argue against using it. I just can’t take any letter seriously from a grown adult that is written in Comic Sans. You would think that guy would know better.
In the case of Avatar, I felt that Papyrus at least somewhat fit the theme of Avatar. Yes you would think they could have found a better font but it worked.
