Disclaimer: these are opinions, not facts. This article attempts to explain the flaws in 23 fonts: what they are, why they matter, and what to do about them. And yet there is a single character that ruins them or, at the very least, causes one to pause before specing them. The whole premise here is that they are good, perhaps even classic or wildly popular. ![]() Flawed typefaces are not bad or even mediocre. A flawed typeface is one that either you avoid using entirely because of this lone defect or one that you use sparingly-and only then, after some alteration of either your design or the face itself to ameliorate the “flaw”. What constitutes a flawed typeface? For this article it is defined as a typeface that is perfectly fine-except for one nagging aspect, usually a single character.
