The Font That's Actually Everywhere

There are plenty of popular fonts in the world. There's Helvetica, Comic Sans, Arial and Times New Roman... but one of those heavy-hitters is unlike the others. Curious why? If so, join Cuffly as he goes somewhat insane in this font-themed first episode of Off the Cuff!

Him realizing that all the companies used the same font was like realizing how almost all alphabets are related…

futura is like if comic sans had a brother that wanted to be fancy

I think it makes a lot of sense why it’s so overused: as soon as you saw it, you immediately started using it as well. Just goes to show how good of a font it is, which would be the major difference between it and comic sans.

Uh-oh. Got to change all my thumbnails.

Brilliant video!

-Is that font... *eugh* comic sans?
-Oooh, how about that one?
-PAPYRUS?

Futura was used in Overwatch from the very beginning, but seeing it in Biedronka logo made me laugh out loud

[FlaringMatrix]

the production quality is so astronomically high for a channel this small. It's criminal you aren't above 100k

The phenomenon you describe has a name. It's called "typomania" which was coined by type designer Erik Spiekermann. He said:

"Words are meant to be read. End of story. Once, however, typomania sets in, it becomes quite a different story. Everywhere you look—shopfronts, books, newspapers, magazines, packaging—there is a compulsive urge to analyze the ingredients. So before we carry on, take a warning from me. Typomania is catching."

There's something about Futura that's just makes it so charming to me lol. It's probably because of how simple and bare-bones it is compares to others

I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE FUTURA. I AM LITERALLY OBSESSED WITH IT. the first time I saw it was in a book in an IKEA store, I noticed the straight „j“s and the symmetrical „u“s.

If you‘re interested in experimentation with Fonts, I recommend the book series „The Familiar“ by Mark Danielewski. The Author uses different fonts for different characters, providing a very novel and unique reading experience

That Biedronka jumpscare caught me off guard, I sure as hell did not expect it lol. But overall, amazing video! I did indeed look around and found future in a few places too :>
