Evidently the font I use for my name on the homepage is rated was named #3 in "Least Favorite" nomination in 2007 designers' survey ("Least Favorite" is defined as "misused or overused", "ugly", "boring, dated, impractical or clichéd", "dislike or blind hatred").
Also Brush Script was rated #5 in a "The 8 Worst Fonts In The World" list.
Funny how I managed to pick such a hated font haha.

Probably can use something from Google Fonts, since free to use and include in site (also good because no guarantee Brush Script will be available on all devices).

Unless font I use is served by a CDN, I probably should use .woff (since much smaller than .ttf) and convert it to base64 (to avoid MIME type issues (a massive headache at times)). Can convert to base64 here.
