Pic: Easily the worst font choice for a card you’ll ever see. Ever.

We wouldn’t like to be the aunt who picks this baby up out of the post.

There are some cards you’ll find on a shelf that are very funny and others that are very elaborate but when it comes to the basic variety, there’s not a whole lot to the card making process. Fold a piece of cardboard in half, put a nice picture and message on the front and a few words in the middle and that’s it done and dusted.

The font, of course, is important depending on the type of message you want to send and we’re sure a lot of thought goes into the style of text that should be used, for example, for expressing greetings of joy and happiness as opposed to sympathy and regret.

Funny though it is for everyone else, we would imagine that the person responsible for the font used on this card, or the person responsible for approving it before it went on sale, will not be winning the Hallmark Employee of the Month award anytime soon (we’re not suggesting it was Hallmark who made it but you know what we mean).

 

What were they thinking?
