I love how people are passionate about fonts. Search for the 2017 Saturday Night Live skit with Ryan Gosling "Papyrus". It captures the obsession!

"It’s like they spent $300 million on the movie, and then.. They just used Papyrus."





Sadly, in this particular case, it's not the font that they are obsessed about.
