Unsolicited Design Tip: When Should You Use Papyrus?
Never.
And the same could be said for Comic Sans, but someone already made that very clear.
Maybe this comes from living in Ithaca, New York and seeing it everywhere, but the only time I’ve ever seen this font look good it was:
1) Silkscreened and
2) On a T-shirt
And maybe the only reason that it worked was because the one papyrus’d word was: “sursly” and my friend had sent the shirt from the Philippines.
Thx Karen, again.

OK. I’ll come up with something. Might not be as iconic.
We’ll see.

I agree completely! I always get so upset when I see those fonts used carelessly. Especially on professional products.
