The font of mine that I see the most often (by a huge margin) is Convalescence. I designed it during my second year of high school in 2005, and I spent all of 3 hours on it. I see it everywhere.

I think what made that font so popular is that there really aren't any fonts that look like it does. Convalescence is the go-to font for runny, splattered letters. That was the exact reason I designed it (I'm using the word "designed" generously). However I'm not too proud of it, it's not particularly "good", and yet I see it everywhere. From First To Last used it, A Black Rose Burial used it, I've seen it on TV, in Hot Topic catalogs, I could go on and on. Whenever I see it, I know that whoever designed whatever it is on was lazy about doing so.



Convalescence - 56,988
Andy Dufresne - 89,120
Bleeding Trough - 28,331
174,439 total.

I wish I had a dollar for every time I saw a death metal band whose logo was simply their name typed out in Convalescence. I'd never have to work another day in my life.
