I don’t even know what it’s called, but I really hope it goes the way of Comic Sans
Edit: does anyone actually know what this awful font is called?
It’s either this shit or the fucking humanoid robot in every tech related post touching a holo screen showing completely pointless and unrelated data
this is an insult to comic sans; that ai font is way worse than it
You’re absolutely right to push bwck on this, it is a dogshit slop-font.
What else can i help you with today?
I’ve been absolutely shocked walking through city centers and seeing these fucking AI flyers everywhere. Boycot whoever uses this shit and pay your local artists and graphic designers.
I am in Japan right now and they were selling postcards with AI images. Not even art made by humans…
I’ve seen that in a city I visited, three seperate shops with those and people were still there browsing
A few of the half decent, small YouTube channels I follow started using it in their thumbnails as a way to polish up their channel. Little do they know is all it does is suck the soul out of their content.
Is this Comic Sans Italic?
Why is it that all AI fliers look like this though?
Because they made that the default look for flyers somehow
Is it actually a font? No same letter looks the same - look at every ‘S’ for example, they all differ. Very similar but not the same. Maybe its just slop?
There is a real font called road rage
Yes! It feels like every second restaurant in my area has suddenly gone with this font and AI slop images for their menus. Lets call it Tragic Sans or something like that.
I see that, I go elsewhere.
Tragic Sans is pretty great. Also saw Toxic Sans somewhere and really like it.
Clanker sans
Wrestling-Sans
To play devils advocate, I reopened Canva for the first time in forever.
Anti Canva rant
(Any service that could be free/no account, but wants an account is immediate red flag in my book. No one NEEDS an account to make a slideshow or poster. Plus I’m on the haveibeenpwned list of the 2019 data leak. But we 1 week away from the school Christmas concert, and the people in charge insist, )
But when I opened the website, there isn’t a clear warning to say “hey, this font or image pack is AI” you have to read the fine print to know for sure.
Canva itself advertises “hey, use our AI helper”, but for the 3rd party features? Up to the uploaded to say if its AI or not. (Still hate Canva though. Can’t wait for the concert so I can never open the website again)
What I come to call the “300” typeface because it’s what all AI slop posters are like now. They’re more or less based on “Edo SZ” which has seen very frequent use.
EdoSZ or Friday13? https://fontmeme.com/friday-the-13th-font/
Thanks!
I first took a note about it in Like a Dragon\Yakuza games, where it’s used for title script of chapters, tasks, encounters with enemies. They got trendy for a while after starting to rerelease on many platforms including PC.

Now that I’ve seen the screenshots, that’s very plausible as to where such styling came from.
Slop font is way worse than Comic Sans.
At least comic sans is easy on the eyes. easy to read.
I was about to instinctively downvote this post until I read the title
