Charles P. Rogers and Curlz



Pr*tty
Not exactly my sort of thing, but sufficiently old-timey and charming nonetheless.

Sh*tty
When designers talk about how the general public is becoming more and more visually acute and sensitive to branding and identity cues, I can’t help but look at something like this and think all that talk is wrong. Honestly, even as an average person, how do you put up Curlz lettering in a window with that identity and not think, “Maybe this doesn’t match. Maybe by doing this I’m securing a special place in hell for myself.”

Repent now ye sinners.

  1. I've always felt that unless you're advertising gingerbread houses or something related to princesses, you have no business using Curlz. I actually know an IT consultant who has used a program that automatically uninstalls the font from computers, as it's been known to wreak havoc with Entourage.

    I do enjoy that Charles P. Rogers font, though.
