The Process
---------------------
In this design challenge, we're taking on the most hated fonts in the industry: Comic Sans, Papyrus, and Impact. These fonts have been widely criticized by designers and typographers alike, but we're going to put them to the test and see if they can be used in a visually appealing way. Whether you're a designer, a typographer, or just someone who loves design, this video is for you. So, let's see if we can change some minds and prove that even the most hated fonts can be used in unexpected and beautiful ways!
We'll create custom illustrations, unique logo designs, and graphic design styles that appeal to each packages audience!

    Preamble: I'm not really a graphics design person (so I think I qualify as real - although I'm a Redditor by heart, so maybe I'm ultra virtual?) Mehhh. I think Papyrus really doesn't look that great in this context. (It does look good as the Avatar title tho, imo). Maybe it's just because it's a bit too thin/fine. The Comic Sans example looks great tho. The strongest "objective" argument against Comic Sans in all contexts that I've heard is that it has pretty crappy kerning. Him manually arranging the letters sidesteps that. Also, Impact does exactly what's on the tin.

The words (or artist's signature) is a design that must fit well with the piece and I must say, you definitely made these fit into the design. And honestly, I love comic sans and papyrus fonts for when I'm writing something. It gives me more playful feel (comic sans) and then a historical feel (papyrus)

    I feel that the fonts really work for the designs because you used the designs of the fonts themselves to your advantage, like using comic sans, a popular font for comics, in a design the aesthetically matches a comic book feel; that's one of the reasons I think the fonts were shunted in the first place, people started using them everywhere despite it clashing, and stopped working with the fonts altogether

    You must be very young then. Before computers became cheap so everyone could afford one for casual use, people used to use fonts in the right context because computers weren't toys like they are now. Comic sans only got raped to death after people started seeing it as a font that was easy to read for dyslexic people rather than as the name implies for use in comics or for children's stuff. The fonts never actually looked bad, it was just fashionable to whinge about them being inappropriate or overused. Clearly they look good, that's why people overuse them.

He explained how a product should stand out, but the three fonts he used are commonly used and are also meme fonts and would catch less attention. He gave criticisms and tips and how to fix them. He advised the on the last one he should add "weathering" to the font to make it look more ranch-like, and that is absolutely ingenious! Usually you should be careful upon adding texture and stuff to the titles, as they should stand out, but in that specific one, cowboy-esque weathering would have given great effect and would have looked so cool and made it look very professional!

    "a bit of a shame that people were so blindly critical" People? Did You mean Redditors? Those circlejerking bastards are so desperate to belong, they only ever parrot popular opinions. They wouldn't dare comment on the actual designs because they haven't yet been told if the community likes them...

    The Long Horn one is so over the top, I love it. "Extra Caffeine" is hilarious, but it also makes the branding make more sense. I could totally see Long Horn being marketed as an energy drink, and on the shelf next to Bang and Monster, the edgy branding feels right at home, and the black and red color scheme stands out against that sea of neon and whites. It does look like a barbecue sauce flavored soda, though. Maybe the words "Root Beer" need to take up more of the can.

    These fonts are hated because they are often used by non designers in poor contexts. As good as these all look, you made the fonts feel at home by putting them in the comfortable contexts they were actually made for. Comic sans, comics. Papyrus, desert/beach. Impact, MANLY YELLING. I think it would have been more interesting if you had made it the goal to find a new context for these fonts where they can still look good.

    There is a reason why they were used so much in the first place. Part of that reasoning may be cheap printing or some other similar thing that doesn't matter much anymore. Yet even so, they were considered some of the best looking fonts considering the restrictions that designers had. They're only considered bad now because people use them for unintended uses. They're good fonts when used properly.

Anyway, 12/10 designs, if I saw these on the shelf I’d buy all of them, especially Blast.

    people are able to find something bad in everything, but their definition of a good design is "don't use what people think is bad, they can't be saved." what is good and bad is up to whoever sees it. in my eyes, these are the best things I've ever seen, and i would never notice they use any of the three fonts, and i wouldn't care either. all that matters is if it's good, and has actual work put into it, and all three fonts fit the design perfectly

    What a fun challenge and a great looking set in the end! Funny enough, a kid's treasure map was one of the analogies I used about Papyrus in my own recent video. Great stuff!

    They all look surprisingly good. I think especially the third one. “Extra caffeine” got my chuckling 😂

    Undertale warning!! I love how Toby fox named the two most beloved characters after hated fonts. (Sans and Papyrus, the skelebros) It's awesome, in my opinion. 😂

    This is the first video I've seen from you, but WOW!! I love how you include the viewer in every step of the process, it really helps me understand your choices behind certain elements and I'm definitely gonna have to try using more bounce light. My favorite has got to be the long horn, it's absolutely gorgeous!
