I am not a font designer, but I don't like Comic Sans for the same reason I don't like Las Vegas architecture that resembles ancient Rome or Egypt, even though I am not an architect.
Maybe it's because they're both tacky?
- ballenf 6y agoVegas is just a big adult theme park. The giant pirate ship is not seaworthy.
- africanboy 6y agoThat's my point: comic sans is the Vegas of fonts. People who dislike it aren't trying to show off the "2 or 3 things that have learned on typography", they are simply not blind and can see its ugliness. But apparently people got offended when I've said that there's no need to be an architect to understand that Vegas has no architectural value... There's no special quality that makes comic sans good if you look close enough, it's just bad, 20 dollars WiFi router bad, LIDL shoes bad, IKEA lack table bad, Caesar Palace Forum shop bad, something that looks okeish from afar but that's not even good enough for casual use. Nobody would live and raise a family in a Treasure Island hotel room, nobody would seriously use comic sans to write code and look at it 8+ hours a day.
