As someone who has overthought the one or other menu design at restaurants, I can totally relate.

UPDATE: In an interview with CBS News the font’s designer, Chris Costello, responded: “I designed the font when I was 23 years old. I was right out of college. … I had no idea it would be on every computer in the world and used for probably every conceivable design idea. This is a big surprise to me as well. … I believe it’s a well-designed font, it’s well-thought [out]. … It was sold to Microsoft, it was sold to Apple … it came packaged with Mac OS. It ended up being a default font set on every computer since 2000. Since that point, it’s been on every computer in the world … anybody who has a Mac or Microsoft operating system. With that broad range, that broad appeal, anybody could use it, not just graphic designers. … So that’s when I began to see it turn up everywhere: mortgage ads, construction logos. It was kind of out of control. It was not my intent to be used for everything — it’s way overused.”
