Curlz MT is an
Agfa Monotype. It is distinct from other popular typefaces, characterized by its wavy strokes and swirls at the beginning or end of letters.
[1] Similar to
Comic Sans and
Papyrus , the font has garnered criticism from graphic designers for being used excessively in inappropriate ways. Curlz was designed as a casual, decorative typeface.
TTF version
A TrueType version of Curlz shipped as part of the original Microsoft Project font set, and with Microsoft Office for Macintosh.
Notes
One of the designers, Steve Matteson , has said that Curlz was not their proudest moment as a font designer.[2]
