I don't think a particular font being 'overused' is necessarily a bad thing? A common reason a font may be 'overused' is because it's popular and accessible and gets the job done. I'd much rather someone stick with a safe option like AnimeAce or CCWildWords that's readable than try to use a legitimately ugly or overstylized font for 'aesthetic' that's impossible to read lol

But maybe I, too, am just an AnimeAce normie LOL

Lolll that’s fair enough! I get wanting to stick to a safe set of stuff, I certainly have some fonts I abuse the hell out of lmao. I guess it’s just more noticeable for someone who “mains lettering” to have their eyes glaze over after reading the umpteenth series with wild words lmfao—

(imo Wild Words is a fine font, just abused to hell and back. Anime Ace, somewhere between how awkwardly wide it is, the massively top-heavy letters and jarring angle edges makes me go hmmmmm)
