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 quite like it for readability when you want something less formal, but it’s so looked down upon that I don’t dare use it anymore.
It's like using ain't as short for am not. It's correct, but the word is so reviled that it can't be used unless you're going for a particular affectation.
Comic Sans is for silly stuff. Nothing wrong with using it for silly things.
