I was thinking about Calibri yesterday. I’m using a similar typeface (client request) and I can’t possibly do anything good with it. I think I can probably do something better with comic sans tbh. And the C in particular really annoys me. So I started wondering why someone designed such a souless font, and why people use if there are so many good geometric sans that can be used.
I did some research and the font was designed for microsoft to work with windows vista and became system default to replace times new roman. And the design started with the letter C, and the purpose was to read well on LCD monitors. So it’s all microsoft fault. And since they started with the horrible C the whole typeface sucks.
Aside from Gill Sans I never really liked any humanist sans. They are fine and very legible on a block of text but it’s hard to compose anything interesting when you just have a little bit of copy.
When I was at school we had to do a typographic poster and we were each one assigned a type. While everyone was doing cool shit with helvetica, univers, avant garde, bodoni I had fcking frutiger. Needles to say my poster was the worst of all. Second worst actually because someone was trolled with Zapfino.
That’s a dirty lie, you take that back!
Boooooo
