Would you prefer Papyrus?

it's a good typeface... but what was once unique is now the village bicycle. i'm a bit sick of all-caps gotham black used as a display face.
does that make me a font trendster/bigot?

overused? yes. But you should say: "Fuck people who use Gotham" and not "Fuck Gotham". Gotham is good. People that use it for everything is what's bad.

it could be overused, but it's also up to who and how well they use it. I've seen it as a great typeface on some applications and as a ridiculous cheap copy of something that could've been good...

You are such a fucking cliche.

you should probably learn the difference between sans serif and serif before you rant about a font.
"what was once a nice serif to make your whatever stand out, now means you are one of a crowd."
- probably a typo thoughidentity

I bought it and used it for a self-published magazine in 2004. I was way ahead of the curve. Was bored with it by '07. Thought Obama's use of it looked old. All these current trend followers now are 6 years behind me.
But I live in the future and others live in my smoke.
Here in the future it's all fucking slab serifs. At least for another month or so.
