THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED!
CASE CLOSED BY SCOUT COLLINS
Anyone who's been looking for AWESOME, FANTASTIC & TRULY BEAUTIFUL style fonts for kids, you've come to the right place.

I've compiled a list of a ton of fonts for kids & adults alike who have good taste. There's fonts for babies, boys, girls, birthday/holiday cards, novels, pamphlets, schools, and just about everything in between. The list is designed so kids can pick out the fonts they like easily, and adults can look for whatever kind of font they want. 

The fonts are all organized by alphabetical order, so look at all of the four pictures to see the different fonts!

You can go to the updated & revised version of the Best Kid Fonts page to see the new additions or you can just follow this link: http://thefontguide.blogspot.ca/p/best-kid-fonts-for-every-occasion.html

Best Fonts For Kids - Books, Posters, Novels, Photo Albums, School & More

There are so many kinds of people.

1. There are the ones who hate Comic Sans SOO much - they are looking for a good font for kids, but can't find the right font to "substitute" (or just any good kid fonts at all).
2. There are the ones who like Comic Sans MS. They use it all the time or very often and don't have a care in the world about the rest of the beautiful fonts that are much better.
3. There are the ones who are/have been looking for a good kid fonts, and have never used Comic Sans personally.
4. There are the ones who have used Comic Sans, but now that they've learned about fonts feel guilty about their mistake... and now they have a way to fix it.
5. The ones in between. Which one are you?

Bad Fonts

Today I decided to review some bad fonts.

(You can see my full review of them at the Bad Fonts page).

My top ones were Comic Sans MS, Papyrus and Century Gothic. I originally liked Papyrus and Century Gothic, although I've always hated Comic Sans MS, phew!

Why I hate them? Well, Comic Sans MS is THE MOST HATED FONT IN THE WORLD. I usually defer from popular opinion, (I hate The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Times New Roman, Studio Ghibli, you get the point) for once I agreed. The same goes for Papyrus.

I'm going to keep on adding to it - I thought about reviewing Twentieth Century Monotype (usually referred to as Tw Cen MT) but in 14 it actually looked okay, so I decided against it.

I started looking around the internet for some good ideas on what fonts I should hate - the top two were usually Papyrus (second) and Comic Sans MS (first).

The other fonts, all of which I'd heard of, included Kristen ITC, Jokerman (this one isn't so bad!!), Monotype Corsiva, Playbill, Courier [New], Brush Script, and New Times Roman.

I have to say that Jokerman and Monotype Corsiva are okay. I can totally believe some people don't like Times, Kristen ITC, Playbill and Brush Script.

Here is a link to the Bad Fonts Page, where I reviewed Century Gothic, Times New Roman, Comic Sans MS, Papyrus, Brush Script and more:
