This week, some improvised signage went up at the yoga studio where I practice. As you might guess, since it's a yoga studio, it MUST be in papyrus font.
Why oh why? Anything healthy, organic, non-GMO, vegan, progressive, socially conscious, etc. needs to be represented in papyrus font. Now it just makes anything look like it was made by stupid hippies. And why do most things marketed to vegans assume that we're all birkenstock loving white people with dreadlocks? Maybe I just feel that way because they ALL USE PAPYRUS.

That's hysterical. You're totally right, though I had never thought about it before. What do you think it is about that font that says, "I appeal to yoga loving, veggie eating, hippies"?
speaking of fonts, i really want to see this documentary on helvetica.
