Papyrus in Avatar

December 19, 2009

It is a sad, unavoidable fact that James Cameron’s new movie, Avatar, not only uses Papyrus for its movie title logo, but also for its English subtitles when the natives of Pandora are speaking in their native language.

Clearly he failed to consult even a single graphic designer worth the name.

However, despite this screeching eyesore of a font, the rest of the movie is bloody brilliant. Go see it, because movies that can make me forget I’m staring at Papyrus are rare indeed.
