What can we talk about on this new Community about fonts, others than the most controversial font of all time ?
What do you think about Comic Sans MS ?
Do you use it ? Did you use it in the past ? Will you use it in the future ? Why ?
What do you like or dislike about this font ?
I used it in the past but only because there was no real alternative at the time. I suppose as far as sans serif goes it’s the one that at a glance seems most like a handwritten font especially since fonts are usually alphabetically categorised, compared to courier new anything looks good. Once you use it and learn about typography you then see how bad it is.
Never thought about the alphabetization aspect. That’s interesting. It probably does go into its popularity.
I wonder if that’s why Arial, Calibri, and Cambria are so ubiquitous along with Courier. I guess Times New Roman is only commonly known because it’s old.
