Rendered in Times New Roman. Awesome.

I kept waiting for Papyrus, and then it happened.

Papyrus: http://www.ediblearrangements.com/

My pet peeve is Handel Gothic D. It's Papyrus's high-tech cousin.

If I could upvote this 100x, I would! I've just spent an age trying to find the name of that font to post here - kept on thinking it was Eurostile too (which others here appear to dislike too...).

Handel Gothic, the choice of backstreet internet cafes around the world.

I always thought that Eurostile is the cliched, high-tech (and rather 80s-ish) font of choice.
But what about Marker Felt?
Let us not forget Sand.
In a "let's remember our dear departed" way, or more like "never forgive, never forget"?
this place is down the road from me, and yes- their canopy is all Papyrus. I wince every time i go past.
If you're on a Mac, it's rendered in Times (the Linotype version) rather than Times New Roman (the Monotype version).
