When I was younger, I ignored this one in favor of flashier styles, but as I matured, I started to appreciate the different ways I could customize this one with various colors and gradients.

This one was SO WEIRD because it looks really bad and is hard to read when it’s tiny like that, but it looks even worse and is harder to read when it’s stretched out? I don’t know.

This is probably something I would have used on the cover page of a report when I was in 4th grade. The font is all business, but the subtle blue color still adds some personality.

Never noticed this one as a kid but damn if I don’t love it as an adult.

This one is haunting. It reminds me of an acid flashback for some reason.

This one. Rainbow gradient, back shadow, capricious but a solid choice nonetheless. If you used this one, it basically meant “LISTEN UP, IDIOTS”.

Dat kern tho.

This one is so ugly, you’d only ever use it as a joke. Unless you were like, writing a paper about geology or something.

This one doesn’t fuck around, either. You could write “George Washington was secretly a woman.” in this font, and I might believe it.

DUMB.

This one is only for boys.

Look, I know this one is almost impossible to read… but dude. It looks like a Transformer. It’s the Optimus Prime of WordArt.

All of these up-and-down WordArts sucked, but this one was truly repulsive. Just nasty.

This one… I love. The shading is not over-the-top, the 3D block letters demand respect, and the color is nice. This is the perfect WordArt.
