Collecting Type

I'll admit it, I've been neglecting my blog. 

However, over the weekend I began working on exploration #13: Documenting type found in the world. I decided that I wasn't going to go on a formal trip just to find typography. Instead, I thought it'd be more practical to keep a camera on me at all times and document the type that jumps out at me while I'm running errands. 

So far, I've come to one conclusion: papyrus is everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Particularly on lawn care vehicles. Surprised? I doubt it. We as designers despise this font for a number of reasons which we all are aware of. But what I'm curious to know is why everyone else in the world (non-designers) overuse this font so much!?
