I (and the rest of my team) have this problem where if a deck uses certain fonts (mostly Papyrus, Comic Sans, or Arial) we automatically hate it, even if the ideas and designs on it are incredible. It sucks, but it is what it is. Do you have this problem? :D We had this discussion at work today and thought it'd be fun to bring up on the bowl. What fonts would you banish if it was up to you?

PAPYRUSSSS!!!! Hahah my fav SNL sketch ever.

No doubt about it... Jokerman. It's a joke and it needs to stop making visits to serious decks.

Aforementioned types. Curlz. Anything that has sloppiness to it.

There are types that are useful in creative ways, but presentations should be professional.

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
