Papyrus font creator on #SNL’s Avatar joke: "I believe it’s a well-designed font, it’s well-thought out" https://t.co/boGMGmUlrX

• The use of Papyrus font for the massively successful film Avatar was the subject of a hilarious skit starring Ryan Gosling in SNL's season opener
• The font creator, Chris Costello, came to its defense: "I believe it’s a well-designed font, it’s well-thought out." He designed it when he was 23 years old going through a lot of stuff.
• Costello sold the font for $750 and now he gets "very low" royalty payments from its use
• Thinks the font is overused. Loved the skit!

"[Cameron] just highlighted 'Avatar,' clicked the dropdown menu and he randomly selected Papyrus, like a thoughtless child, just wandering by a garden, yanking leaves along the way."
