The horror in this one isn’t necessarily the look, its the extreme overusage.Īlternatives: Univers, Futura, Frutiger, Akzidenz-Grotesk Courier How does Helvetica help to sell your product? What have to done to the typeface to make it suit your product? If your have altered it to make it your own, so be it, but stop using Helvetica as a catch-all or safety net for your logo work. When I see this font used in a movie poster, or for a generic product label with a simple color slapped on it, I just want to scream. It is beautiful in its design and works well for certain applications, such as signage and so on, but not for everything else under the sun.
Okay, I know I will catch some flack for this one. This is considered by most designers as one of the most horrible fonts.Īlternatives: Try Wonder Comic, Action Man, Komika Axis Helvetica This font doesn’t even look good when used in comics. If you are trying to create a logo for a children’s product, there are tons of better suited fonts out there. I don’t know and I do not care who designed this font, but stop using it in designs! It is quirky, malformed and is not a good choice for commercial work. This is one of the most horrible fonts out there.Īlternatives: Try MothproofScript, Kingthings Calligraphica, Trajan Comic Sans You are creating an identity, not a cliche or embarrassment.
Or better yet, here’s an idea: if you are creating a logo for an organic company, create your own from scratch.
There are much more imaginative fonts out there with an organic feel. I even recently saw it used for a movie title for a film that I know had a decent budget. I hate this font with such a passion that I deleted it from my system. If I see this font used one more time for an Egyptian theme or for an all natural product or health spa, I am going to lose my lunch. Just about any elegant script font will look better than Curlz MT. Alternatives: Dancing Script, Sevillana, Allura. I have never actually used this in a design, and I hope I never get to, but there are alternatives out there for creating a feminine mystique. Curlz MT is a terrible font, due to its overuse and it’s halfway jab at a feminine and fun font.
