A fun rant about fonts

Boing Boing linked to a Hamlet based text adventure, which won't let me kill Horatio. As I've never read or seen Hamlet I got a little bored and explored the rest of his site.

I saw this enjoyable rant about font usage in posters, etc. I've mentioned before I'm supporting the company's attempt to brand itself using corporate fonts; it's partially due to my inherent need to outlaw MS Sans from all posters in the building.
I am calling for an end to Comic Sans ... People use[ing] it ... look amateurish and lazy. If you really think that the message of your prose can be delivered by a font, show us a nicely formatted alphabet and save us the read.
Here here!

There's a link to the Hamlet game on his main page...
