Transcript of 7 Deadly Font Sins

Too Many Fonts Disease
Serif + Sans Serif = True Font Love
Please, limit
yourself to two different fonts on
your website.
Sin #1
Diet of Bad Color Choices
Not Enough or Too Much Contrast
Is the Work of the Devil.
Sin #2Two words: nail, salon. It's perfect for money laundering, it's a high-volume, cash-preferred business with a discreet workforce. Nobody does mista-me-know-nothing better than Mrs. Mukjayaporn and her gals.

Decorative Font Overdose
Consuming too many decorative
fonts can cause permanent nausea.
Sin #3Ding, ding ding ding. Ding ding ding ding ding ding. Ding. DING. Ding ding, ding; ding ding ding ding ding ding. Ding. Ding ding
ding ding, ding ding ding.
Chronic Capital Letter Fatigue
Reading Capital Letters for too long
can cause hearing loss.
Sin #4YOU... ARE TROUBLE. I'M SORRY THE KID HERE DOESN'T SEE IT, BUT I SURE AS HELL DO. YOU ARE A TIME BOMB. TICK, TICK, TICKING. AND I HAVE NO INTENTION OF BEING AROUND FOR THE BOOM. WELL... YOU KNOW HOW THEY SAY, IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE? IT HASN'T.
(Get it? It’s considered yelling.)
You have Comic Sans Cancer
There’s nothing comical about it.
Sin #5Marie, I said Cheetos, not Fritos. I must've said Cheetos like
ten times. You need me to write it down for you? Well, I'm just
saying, y'know, I said Cheetos. Ch-ch-ch sound. Virtually
impossible to confuse Cheetos with Fritos it seems to me.
An Emphasis Epidemic
Only use one. A widespread outbreak is cause
for great concern and may require a vaccine.
Sin #6Don Eladio, please. I didn't sell anything. I apologize if you are offended by my method of obtaining this meeting. I merely took the initiative. I meant no insult.
Microfont Dysfunction
Make sure your font size is at least 10px. The only cure for microfont is enlargement.
Sin #7Goodbye, Walter. I don't owe you a damn thing. All of this -- falling apart like this -- is on YOU. We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch! We had Fring. We had a lab. We had everything we needed and it all ran like clockwork. You could've shut your mouth, cooked, and made as much money as you ever needed. It was perfect. But no! You just had to blow it up. YOU! And your pride and your ego. You just had to be the man. If you'd done your job, known your place, we'd all be fine right now.

An Important message from the
Font Surgeon General and his BFF:
We hope that you recognize
the serious nature of these
deadly sins. A diet of standard
web safe fonts should be
strictly adhered to.
Neglecting to follow our
prescription, your website
will look schizophrenic.
Don’t let this happen to your
website. Please take action
immediately to avoid committing
one of these deadly sins.
