Chip’s taboo typeface:
Right off hand, I think of Bell Gothic, and the Base (Base9 and friend) fonts as sans serifs that have serifed ‘I’s. Yes, that kinda annoys me too.
There are many typefaces that have that type of “I”.
In addition to the two mentioned by andyRespire there is a font called simply Grotesque, Tahoma is another, plus many more.
