Jenny Ambrose, Design Festival, on the hatred of Comic Sans:
Just because you change the word you typed it in, does not change the fact that the whole essence of this font is built around childlike handwriting. That framework will always be present, it will always have a heavy-handed effect on the tone and voice of whatever is being typeset. And, can I remind you that the overuse/misuse of any font, be it Comic Sans, Helvetica, or Times New Roman, was very much the reason for the creation of Comic Sans? I really don’t think that fact can be overstated.
Interesting and thought-provoking.
