Comic Sans Pro Typeface Family Makes its Debut
We all know that Comic Sans has gotten a lot of flack for being one of the worst, most overused typefaces in computer based graphic design history. I wonder why the blog post doesn’t touch on how bad of a name Comic Sans has gotten over the years?
This was my favorite part: “Hats off to Monotype Imaging for enlivening Comic Sans and getting it back to its roots as a comic book lettering face. Now everyone can write with more panache – and look even more like a pro using swashes, small caps and other typographic embellishments,” said Connare.
