if it really bothers you, you have 3 options. 1) suggest a new typeface and work it into new guidelines, 2) shut up and do the fucking work, 3) don't do the job.

I would try to find out what qualities they like about the typeface and then try to recommend something that is of better quality. There are a lot of nice, hand-written casual fonts available for purchase. Or, if the font is inappropriate, tell them why (or at least try).

haha. *sigh*

yeah try to suggest what you think should be used. and if nothing else, this could be them letting you know that you shouldnt put too much time into this project, hhaa.
