Mistral, you try to be breezy, but end up looking rather cheesy.
Neue Helvetica, you're just Helvetica's shadow, in branding wars, you're rather pretty shallow.
Old English, pretending you're a knight, in modern texts, you're just a blight.
Papyrus, you want to be exotic, but you end up in yoga studios, as the basic bitch for the neurotic.
Quicksand, soft and subtle, in heavy texts, you're in a muddle.
Raleway, so thin and fine, but in print, you barely shine.
Segoe UI, you're just a tool, in creative works, you're not that cool.
Times New Roman, oh so grand, but in every middle school essay, the words are so bland.
Uncial, with your ancient script, in modern days, you're somewhat skipped.
Victorian, laced and adorned, in today's ads, you're just scorned.
Windsor, you royal pain, in contemporary design, you're utterly vain.
Xerox Serif, so functionally dead, in design talks, you're barely said.
Youthquake, trying to be hip, in serious fonts, you just slip.
Zapf Chancery, with your elegant twist, in a world of sans, you're hardly missed.
