Papyrus


If you don't know, I think that Papyrus is the WORST FONT IN THE WORLD! Despite this, many people love to use it and embrace it's uglyness.

As many of you know, there is a paper store called Papyrus. After I cringed at the name, I began wondering the store had the name it did. The font of the logo wasn't Papyrus, thank god, so what reason did they have for this awful name?

Today I went in and asked. After getting a crazy look from the clerk, she explained that papyrus is also the name of a organic Egyptian paper.

Even thought that doesn't sound like the best thing to name a store after, at least the naming has nothing to do with the font. :)
