Comic Sans was once the king of Y2K graphic design – a fun and characterful font among a sea of stuffy serifs. Today, it is the post-ironic child of a bygone era, but its origins spread far beyond its whimsical aura. Consider this my plea to think twice before you judge Comic Sans.
While it's by no means the sexiest, Comic Sans has become one of the most iconic typefaces ever made. Whether you love it or loathe it, the practical origins of this humble font are not to be overlooked – it's time we give Comic Sans its flowers.
