There are no bad dogs, just bad owners; likewise there are no bad fonts, just bad designers.
Well, that’s not entirely true, fonts are regularly distributed with all kinds of flaws — inadequate hinting, poor consistency, a lack of optical adjustment, are all common mistakes — but those fonts fall by the wayside pretty quickly. The ones that survive the Darwinesque world of typography are usually technically very sound.
But even the highest quality fonts are open to misuse and the best font in the world can perform poorly in the wrong context.
So how do we avoid being bad designers? How do we avoid misusing fonts? The simple answer is that we choose a typeface that is appropriate for the task at hand. Yes, that means not using Comic Sans for your résumé; but just as importantly, it means not using Helvetica for everything.
Once in a while you’ll come across a brief that asks for something with real character. It may only happen once or twice in your career, but when it does, leave your go-to fonts on the shelf and seize the opportunity to set your type in something truly unique.
Here we’ve collected 55 fonts that offer a selective typographer the potential to produce truly original designs. They won’t work for every project. They definitely won’t work for body text. Heck, some are even downright ugly. But if you can match the right one to the right design job, well, then you’ll end up with something really quite special.

Sexador de pollos. Solo el nombre induce a la hilaridad. Este trabajo ha sido objeto de toda clase de chistes, protagonista de gags cinematográficos, e incluso suele aparecer en las listas de los peores trabajos a los que te puedes dedicar. Sin embargo, ser sexador de pollos es un trabajo mucho más importante de lo que creemos. Y llevarlo a cabo requiere cierta magia que incluso los científicos están tratando de descifrar.
El mundo de los pollos era así de complicado hasta la década de 1920, cuando veterinarios japoneses advirtieron que justo en el interior del trasero del pollo se encuentran unos pliegues, marcas, manchas y bultos que pueden informar acerca del sexo del pollo. No obstante, estas señales resultan tan indescifrables para los legos como un test de Roschart para fines no psicológicos. Los traseros de los pollos son como pinturas de Pollock. Arte abstracto. Una constelación caótica.
El procedimiento para averiguar el sexo del pollo tiene algo de ciencia, pero tal vez más de arte, porque los expertos tampoco saben muy bien cómo logran averiguar los sexos a tal velocidad. Y es que, según algunos cálculos, existe hasta un millar de configuraciones cloacales diferentes que un sexador debe aprender para hacer bien su trabajo.
