Simon Garfield offers his selection of the eight worst fonts in the world. Comic Sans is not included on grounds of lifetime achievement, but Papyrus makes a good showing. The winner is London’s 2012 Olympic Font, which fits in well with the event’s draughtmanship-free “blowjob Lisa” logo and “default shapes in the freeware 3D program” mascots. Not every selection is sound: just how old do you have to be to remember why you’re not supposed to like Souvenir?
