- Mahn 14y agoExactly. Most internet folks fail to realize that the average joe doesn't, in fact, care the slightest about design, as long as the object in question does the job.
- dfxm12 14y agoThe average Joe doesn't know he cares about design. Sure, with comic sans, he'll think nothing of it. However, Comic Sans is totally overused. Anyone can appreciate that a unique (or "solemn") font will make this piece stand out for the better. I'd love to see some A/B testing here.
- nathell 14y agoThe aesthetically pleasing effect of a good font is very much subconscious. Just typeset the same short text in Comic Sans and, say, Zapfino, and ask people which one they prefer. (Not that Zapfino would be a good choice for Vatican's original content here.)
