One Font to Rule them ALL

“Have a fling with Comic Sans, just be sure to trash the files in the morning.”

Why isn’t there an Academy Award for “best typography”? If there was, we probably wouldn’t be subjected to horrors like Helvetica in a 1950’s tv studio. There should at least be an award for best title/credits sequences. Sometimes these are better than the movie itself: “Nanny McPhee” and “A Series of Unfortunate Events” are 2 examples that come to mind. Of course it’s great when both are outstanding, like “Monsoon Wedding.”
