Comic Sans

July 7, 2006 at 1.46 pm

Now, some of you lot will know me as an inveterate font-fondler. As such, I view Comic SODDING Sans as A Very Bad Thing.

Ban Comic Sans!

Sure, it has its place (after all, it was designed for use with comics), but what gets me (and many others) is the "ooh, look at the cute font" brigade who persist in using it everywhere.

For example, our HR Officer, while an absolutely lovely woman (he says, in case she ever reads this!), has a penchant for the font. Cue serious organisational announcements in cutesy Comic Sans.

Anyway, this post was inspired by Workmate Caroline sending me a link to the Ban Comic Sans website - it’s great!

Save the bunny - don't use Comic Sans!

In the interest of fairness, however, here’s the Comic Sans Appreciation Society :-)
