I did not know that a redeeming quality of this abused font is that it has been found to make reading easier for dyslexics. That’s kind of cool.
Unpopular opinions:
I still like Nic Cage and I’ve never had a problem with Comic Sans.
As the link shows, it has its place. But unfortunately, too much of a good thing can turn very wrong. I read something recently about Times New Roman that referred to it as a lack of choice of font. Personally, I play nice with fonts. Sometimes I back away slowly. After all they are more afraid of us than we are of them. No wait, that’s some types of animals or insects or something.
Yes, that’s how I feel about it. Every font has its place. As a graphic design guy in a fairly Newspapery/professional journal kind of world, my font choice is usually rather limited. The occasional kid’s birthday invitation is as “out there” as I normally am allowed to get.
