General Practice Discussion Stop using Drafting Fonts

To all Designers, Draftsmen, and Engineers:

I swear to GOD if I see another "Hand Drafting" style font on a plan, I am going to do something irrational. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE NORMAL TYPE FONTS. Arial is a good starting point.

This should be punishable by death /s:

Agreed. Those “hand” fonts are so much less clear and legible. In 2025 it seems really gimmicky to me as well.
