      Just finished a history of type course at uni and we were taught who created Comic Sans, still no info as to why it became so famously hated. Regardless, I would never use it…unless I was intentionally making something look bad.

      Comic sans is the worst. No matter what. Never use it.

      This did nothing to explain the weird obsession with hating on comic sans.

    • melissam17 5 months ago

      I don’t like the font Comic Sans but could we please leave that dead horse in its grave? It’s actually useful for things like t-shirts for little kids. It was never intended for inter-office memos in the first place. - Graphic Artist & Professional Illustrator with 20yrs exp
