Comic Sans as Faux pas

[richimgd]

Comic sans isn't the only bad font out there by any means. Its not even the worst font, its just in my opinion (which I'm sure many others share) it is the most consistently inappropriately used bad font out there. Just stop using it please for the love of type!

OK, I confess, I have used Comic Sans on a logo!

My pet hate font is Brush Script.

I did a wee bit of work for a local chippy's Facebook page. The owner has a lot of things in Brush Script, including his shop name and he was adamant to not change it. So I just did what he wanted and got out of there. :icon_Wall:

I only used Comic Sans because the client wanted it! (Junior/infant school)

Oddly enough, I find my taste in fonts changes frequently. 4 years ago I was working on some POS for Costcutters and used Papyrus for a series of shelf talkers. It worked fine and didnt look as awful as you'd expect. Around the same time I was also using, rounded fonts (eg; VAG Rounded). Fastforward 4 years and I wouldn't use either of those fonts as they just dont seem to work with anything anymore. Same goes for Comic Sans, it just seems to be the 'quirky font' used when someone wants to make their Publisher file look 'friendly'.

I have heard that dyslesics find Comic Sans easy to read...
