That typeface is terrible, holylampposts ::meev::

Edit: Helvetica looks really good with that! Except now it looks like 'npr' is a design studio instead of a frumpy East-coast radio station ::meev::

In Soviet Russia, NPR supports you!

@lampposts: Holy crap, you're right! :o How did you discover that?
It definitely looks better when you use capitals or an actual word.

I thought this Soviet typeface actually made it look kind of elegant. It's amazing how much entertainment can come from free online fonts and mspaint! ::meev::

The new comic sans: Calibri. I see people using that font on signs and announcements all the time, and it looks terrible. As a 10-12 pt. font, it's probably the best sans serif out there. As anything larger than that, it looks like shit XD

EDIT: Oh, and it has rounded edges too.

EDIT EDIT: Couldn't resist :P

That's the font for the tracklist on the back of Nocturnal Opera :P

That's where I knew that from! I've always thought the font's name was retarded. :|

You should have seen the sick logos I designed for my fake band in junior high with nothing but a pencil and lined notebook paper (and a dream).

They pretty much all looked like the Metallica or Iron Maiden logos. :|

Apparently they used it on the movie poster for There Will be Blood, and I found a designer's blog that mentions using it in some RPG manual. If it's used for all these commercial things, you'd think someone would have some sort of claim on it or something. I really want to know who made it and why they called it that XD

First one is lowercase like it's supposed to be, but the second one is way more fun.

I think it must be saying that NPR is a pirate flagship organization that plans on using solar radiation to KILL US ALL!!!1!
