Hey. What's the best motherf**king font in the world? Any why is it just so goddamned good?

The answer I like best will win a Prize, which is a material object whose precise nature I choose not to reveal at this time. A nice object, if relatively inexpensive.

I like Tahoma. It looks good in Excel. It is hardly the best motherf**king font in the world, but I like it. I am sad, this is my truth.

I don't know about best, but I'd think the worse would have to be Comic Sans MS - especially when it's used by government departments or large employers for "fun" internal communications.

Whatever Russell Hoban uses. Incredibly easy to read.

I've always like the Square BT 721 font - has something futuristic about it, whilst still looking like an old school font. It's easy to read, and best of all it seems to not show up on many systems which is why I like using it!

Two entrants named a font but each claimed that it isn't the best motherf**king font in the world. One entrant explained the best motherf**king font status, but did not name the font. One entrant just posted a link to a cartoon.

One entrant actually answered the question, and for bonus points both named a font I had not heard of and exhibited font elitism.

So the winner is Scott C. Congratulations! You will receive your prize this weekend.
