Most interesting: Ritornelos
Considering that there are a lot of fonts out there that try and fail to recreate the humanistic quality of hand-rendered fonts, we find that this is pretty successful at that. It doesn't show that live trace quality that a lot of fonts have.

Most despicable: RMFire
We chose this as the most despicable because of its total lack of effort when it came to creating it. We couldn’t really think of any situation in which it would be used successfully. And it sort of reminded me of really bad myspace pages from 5 or 10 years back. It's just really bad, and people who make fonts like this should have to pay a fine.

Most outrageous: Al Fragment
I understand that it is trying to be experimental but its definitely too much. This was chosen for its illegibility. Although some characters by themselves seem like a cool composition playing on negative and positive space, as a typeface, its so cluttered and couldn't be appropriately used.

Most ill-considered: Serifsy
For this typeface, I don’t find it aesthetically pleasing. It’s another attempt at trying to be experimental, but I think it fails in demonstrating creativity in the merging of lowercase and uppercase. Rather than really playing with the forms and how they can flow together, it pretty much just slapped one right on top of the other.

Most ugly: Ransom Note
Ransom note is another ugly font that tries to take different aspects of typography (the good, the bad and the ugly) and tries to combine them into one typeface, which results in a mess. It also looses whatever grunge bricollage quality that it was perhaps supposed to posses.
