It's the font the original text was in and the font the title of the movie Serenity is in.
D'oh. Sometimes I wonder how I made it this far.
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Hey. New board.
In that EW feature, Amy Acker is listed as "Amy Acker (Alias)". Really? Alias is her credit? In a feature about a Joss/Tim show?

I noticed that too, Gris. Odd, isn't it. I suppose it's more recent. Was is bigger?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Most of us just need to know better than to use Comic Sans.
I couldn't have named the Papyrus font, nor did it bother me. The lettering "echo" effect was a bit cheesy though.

I also do not like the use of papyrus. Not a good font, too casual and imprecise.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
You know, when the SERENITY logo was first unveiled, I remember a load of fans complaining about the Papyrus font. And I was, like, seriously? Shut the hell up. What does it matter?
And now I notice the font all the time. Oh god, I hate myself.

I kind of like the font, although I can see not wanting to hark back to Buffy, since this should be a new and different show and all that. Of course, I use comic sans upon occasion, and like it too.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
libkitty, Alias was a much bigger show (4 times as many people watched it) and as you said more recent.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
You know, when the SERENITY logo was first unveiled, I remember a load of fans complaining about the Papyrus font. And I was, like, seriously? Shut the hell up. What does it matter?
I have a pre-loaded rant at the ready about how font choice is a crucial element of any design that involves text, and how most people aren't geeks like me who go, "Oh, not Copperplate AGAIN," yet font absolutely does have an almost subconscious effect on people's perception of the advertisement/store sign/chryon they're reading.
That was just the summary of the rant.
And now I notice the font all the time. Oh god, I hate myself.
Nonsense! You should congratulate yourself! And I'm not even kidding. There's nothing wrong with having a discerning eye. (But try not to say "Oh, not Copperplate AGAIN" *out loud,* because it tends to make people think you're (1) pretentious and/or (2) a dork. Learn from my experience and save yourself the shame.)

Hey, I LOVE copperplate, and i know I am guilty of overuse. But, it's just so nice!
