I found this great little video following a link trail from Waxy to this amusing discussion of Woody Allen’s favourite font.
The video discusses the current ubiquity of Trajan, a font that has its origins in ancient Rome. You can watch the YouTube version below, or see a higher-quality version on GoodieBag.tv:

Well,
It’s a good font. Maybe overused but you don’t hear movie graphic designers complaining about Verdana on webpages.
The Comic Sans suggestion wasn’t even funny.
