2025-01-08 23:24:12 +0000 UTCComic Sans is to fonts what Papyrus is to movie posters—technically functional, but universally mocked for its overuse in the wrong places. Sure, it was meant for comics, but slapping it on a professional presentation is like wearing Crocs to a black-tie event. It's not about the sans, it's about the comic. If readability were the only metric, Wingdings would be in the Louvre by now.

2025-01-07 23:57:57 +0000 UTCComic Sans gets a bad rap. It's a good font for its intended purpose and for a lot of other purposes. It's my distinct impression that the entire reason most people hate on it is some mixture of "it has comic in its name" and "they can get away with it". Yes, it is a sans font and deserves any anti-sans sentiment as much as any other sans font. Well, OK, Comic Sans is one of the most readable sans fonts, so a lot of them deserve it more. But Comic Sans gets dumped on because it's for a medium that is not as well regarded as it should be, and I truly feel like people in this particular forum who hate on it should be ashamed of themselves because clearly they feel that at least some comics are worthwhile, so something with comic in its name is not automatically worthless.

2025-01-07 21:25:46 +0000 UTCHannalore does not strike me as the sort of person who properly avoids things that make her anxious. Rather, she improperly avoids them. Which I feel rather well explains a mix of serifs and sans serifs. I'm a little surprised that she didn't go with a font that serifs inconsistently - that is, some of the letters that could have them do and others that could have them don't. Maybe still others have some of the serifs they could have but not all of them. Like maybe capital I is missing the top left serif, just to make it a little more distinct from 1, and the bottom right serif to make it distinct from lowercase l.

2025-01-07 18:10:03 +0000 UTCAt my work I used to write and circulate an informal company newsletter. After our company's MD complained (jokingly) about my use of Calibri for the email (he was an Arial die-hard), I started doing every newsletter in a different font to wind him up, which meant that each one was followed by font-related jokes and banter. It was a fun time (until I eventually started running out of readable fonts to use). I wonder what font Hannelore favours for the CoD employee newsletter...

2025-01-07 10:48:45 +0000 UTCThat's a bit of a slog, but it does illustrate what I was trying to say about letters that require stopping and using context to figure out what they are like if a word has double lower case "l" like llama or a capitol I followed by a lower case l like if the word "Illustrate" comes at the start of a sentence, and to completely blow people's minds give them a subscription to Illustrated llamas newsletter. That's a lot of vertical strokes in close proximity.

2025-01-07 10:31:17 +0000 UTCHe's right though, the wrong font can destroy readability or change the tone of your document. For instance Courier to Comic Sans. Never use Comic Sans for a document that needs to be taken seriously. On the other hand Courier is the epitome of "Serious Documents".
Opus the Poet
2025-01-07 10:23:46 +0000 UTCI'm the opposite, I dislike sans serif fonts. Knowing the difference between an upper case I and a lower case l greatly increases my reading speed and comprehension. Having to stop and parse out what a lone character is supposed to be or the Ieading character of an unfamiliar word frustrates me. For instance did anyone catch my substitution of one letter for an identical appearing letter earlier in the comment?

2025-01-07 02:20:56 +0000 UTCIt is ugly as sin, and there are other fonts designed for dyslexia that are also free to use. But if that was the only reason why people were using it, I could forgive it even if I hate how often designers just don't bother to make pretty things that are also accessible. For whatever reason people who aren't dyslexic use Comic Sans so much. It's a favorite of people doing "desktop publishing" because it's "cute and fun". No it isn't, it's an inconsistent ugly mess. It's possible to make a font that has each character visually distinct without making it ugly.

2025-01-07 02:11:00 +0000 UTCDora had a box of them sitting in the basement for ages. Apparently they screwed up her order and printed the word "doom" backwards.

2025-01-07 02:05:58 +0000 UTCLet's hear it for Franklin Gothic Medium Condensed. Not for everything, just when you want style.
Donna Flint
2025-01-07 02:04:00 +0000 UTCIn fairness, if you already have the assets made, it takes like... 5 minutes to send it off to a print on demand service to make small batches of customized merch.

2025-01-07 02:00:13 +0000 UTCDon't feed her after midnight.

2025-01-07 01:52:52 +0000 UTCSo he's made branded mugs, but he doesn't have an espresso machine? Marten!!

2025-01-07 01:51:56 +0000 UTCI hope their studies bear fruit, they're analyzing something that's an increasing problem.

Veronica Jane
2025-01-07 01:50:28 +0000 UTCBeen a while we’ve had a good Mogwai shout-out. I stumbled across Dyslexie because one of my tablet-reading apps kept defaulting to it. Now I miss it when it’s not available.
Magic Beans
2025-01-07 01:49:25 +0000 UTCI think her complaint is, how you say in French, implausibe.
Jeff Norman
2025-01-07 01:49:19 +0000 UTC(Shhhh!)
Ursus Ridens
2025-01-07 01:48:44 +0000 UTCAll this font talk is great, and I'm gonna look up some of them later, but first things first: Is Liz drinking a free coffee?
ValdVin
2025-01-07 01:45:01 +0000 UTCSomehow I felt that her complaint was something minor but this is so much funnier.
Hawkeye
2025-01-07 01:42:42 +0000 UTCIt's actually more subtle than that, but decorative serifs and ornaments can make fonts less accessible For example, see https://accessibe.com/blog/knowledgebase/ada-compliant-fonts
Clark Wells
2025-01-07 01:42:01 +0000 UTCGaramond has a place, just not in anything I produce. My time in London in 1975 left a mark that persists to this day...including a preference for san serif fonts that hew tightly to Johnston's shape and style.
Robert
2025-01-07 01:40:28 +0000 UTCWait really? Never knew this
Egos
2025-01-07 01:37:57 +0000 UTCI actually prefer Palatino Linotype to Garamond.
Lawrence David Thompson
2025-01-07 01:35:11 +0000 UTCSerif fonts are not friendly to folks with certain reading related learning disabilities, so I get Liz's point

2025-01-07 01:33:16 +0000 UTCIs it weird I'm finding Liz cuter and cuter? Not in a bad way. Just...like a puppy.
Joel Bateman
2025-01-07 01:31:10 +0000 UTCSerifs! Throw off your chains! Bow no longer under unjust rents and corvee labor, not to mention droit de seigneur, by the noble landlords, serifs of the wo....oh wait. "Serifs." Nemmind.
Ursus Ridens
2025-01-07 01:30:40 +0000 UTCSo the walls aren't as bare as first thought.

Demonac
2025-01-07 01:29:17 +0000 UTCFont-wise I have a soft spot for Bell Centennial, not because I like using it but because it was developed to solve physical-world printing problems, including tweaks to minimize/eliminate ink spreading when printing quickly on crap paper. I’m not a typography nerd, but I am an intersection-of-physical-world-and-digital-world nerd. This technically predates the the digital world, but it’s adjacent enough that it tickles my neurons in the same way.

2025-01-07 01:29:12 +0000 UTCWhen you're right, you're right.
Doc Gumby
2025-01-07 01:28:30 +0000 UTCI LOVE Garamond, but I'm trying to move away from it as sans serif fonts are more easily read. It's hard to give up, tho...
chiralitycounts
2025-01-07 01:27:07 +0000 UTCYou are not alone Liz. Garamond sucks.
Thomas Baxter
2025-01-07 01:24:26 +0000 UTCDon't think I didn't notice you positioned the gremlin directly in front of the Mogwai poster XD
Wynn Donivan
2025-01-07 01:22:11 +0000 UTCOh Lawrence! Massive points.
Claudia D.
2025-01-07 01:22:04 +0000 UTCDown with Garamond!!!
JMK
2025-01-07 01:22:03 +0000 UTCI personally like a typewriter font
Hope
2025-01-07 01:20:19 +0000 UTCOoh I'm early! Typo in Liz's first line: missing second L in "plausible"
Zofia
2025-01-07 01:20:04 +0000 UTCI'm more a fan of Bodoni, although it's not so good for body text.
fluffy
2025-01-07 01:19:34 +0000 UTCI'm mostly chill with fonts as long as it's not Comic Sans, Papyrus, or the unholy abomination that leaves both in the dust by combining the worst of the two.

2025-01-07 01:19:16 +0000 UTCGARAMOND IS THE BEST FONT THERE IS!!!

Skye
2025-01-07 01:19:00 +0000 UTCOk, but I *love* serifs. I always change my documents to be TNR instead of Arial or Calibri, and I use a skin on AO3 that changes the font for me
Jamieson
2025-01-07 01:18:58 +0000 UTCSomething tells me it was originally in Comic Sans.
Simpin4Holo
2025-01-07 01:18:51 +0000 UTCyeah idk I think liz crossed a line here, she might be TOO problematic now 😔
Lorelei
2025-01-07 01:18:51 +0000 UTCGaramond isn't terrible, but it feels overused.
Carl-Eric Menzel
2025-01-07 01:18:41 +0000 UTCThe society of nonsense research sounds like they do vital work. Id love to be educated by them.
