You know how it is, a lot of people on the internet overrate their sensibilities when it comes to EVERYTHING: movies, books, fashion, photography, typology, graphic design. Everyone thinks they're an expert. That's what happens when you give everyone equal access to a forum to speak in.

Here's a pretty good list of what fonts are highly regarded:

Although I tend to think Helvetica is really overused these days... It's practically a cop-out.

Personally, I like the fonts on this album cover. Those exaggerated serifs make the title look as sinister as the hardware on those nails. And I like the gray background. It accentuates the rigid, metallic, cold feel of Ayu's look
