Comic Sans. The ever disputed and hated font between designers and computer users worldwide. Why all this hatred? In 1994 , Vincent Connare designed the font for it to be used solely for comic book speech bubbles. He found that Times New Roman shouldn’t be used in comic books and that’s why he made it. He does presume a solid argument, but it’s popularity is torture. It was used in Microsoft Bob, Microsoft 3D Movie Maker, Windows 95 Plus, and Windows 95. It was eventually included in Microsoft Publisher and Internet Explorer (link). Whenever I see a logo or sign that uses Comic Sans, I assume two things, the person who made this is clearly naive, or a kid choose the font. I won’t deny it, but I used to like using Comic Sans as a kid, but then I realized how stupid it is. The way its designed is targeted for a young audience and not for it to be used by everyone. I’m not a designer, but after reading this article I realized how bad the font is. For your own sake, please don’t use this font.. unless forced by a higher authority!
I use Comic Sans for my comic strips. I actually like how it looks with my sketches. It fits.
It works for comics but not with something serious like essays and letters!
