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.

It's not easier to read, I'm not sure where that myth came from. There's fonts specifically designed to be easier to read for dyslexics and they look nothing like comic sans.

Some people just want to make excuses for their questionable typographical decisions I guess.

Good option for dyslexics if no actual dyslexic font exsists

I seem to recall that its main issue was that it used more ink when printing. Not sure about that but I print like two documents a year so I havent really checked.

It's a trash font for trash people.

It is good.

Is comic sans the Taylor Swift of fonts?

[-] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago

made for a very specific reason and got overused in the wrong contexts

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Not a fan. Not a fan of system fonts in general.

It's great for trolling font nerds.
