my bad, para's hd dying has put me in a mood...
plus I hate people bagging on a fucking typeface, I mean, it's like me saying, when will people stop using computers, or photography?!
It's all over-used mate, there's nothing that hasn't been done..
let's just accept it and move on. beg, borrow, steal, swallow, bend over, whatever. don't hate the game, hate the player who doesn't realize it's a game...

I just saw one too many poorly conceived designs using that typeface. My AG threshold has been reached, and now I puke up all previous misused executions.
Every season there's another posterchild of why style without understanding, context or concept is so horrible, and right now that's it. It represents everything lame and cringy about visual design.
That and the overuse of victorian filligree... but we digress.

It's interesting reading this thread next to the grafik redesign one. I'm not a big fan of avant-garde myself, but the use of the lowercase in the large headlines in grafik is something that I really like.
What I don't like about it is the uppercase. Not sure why but I find that 'R' really very unattractive. And, as has been said already, it is used a lot. Not a bad thing, and I'm sure only designers really notice its common usage.
