I was going to make a post on unpopular opinions saying comic sans is not as bad as people make it out to be and can be useful in some cases since it is easier to read. But decided not to because I wasnt sure kbin/lemmy felt about it.

    I think that it’s a pretty decent typeface – it looks decent and successfully evokes comic book text. But because Microsoft bundled it with its OS, where it was one of the few distinct-looking typefaces, it became overused, got put in a lot of material where it wasn’t really a great choice.

    But I won’t blame the typeface for people using it in inappropriate spots.

    I used to have a number of typefaces used for various things, but I kind of stopped messing around with decorative fonts once I wanted wide Unicode support.
