Comic Sans: The Most Hated Typeface in Existence?

Comic Sans. It comes bundled with every operating system. It is one of the most widely-recognized fonts since the dawn of the personal computer.

But has there ever been a typeface more hated and ridiculed than Comic Sans?

I think that the last time I saw Comic Sans in use was in an AIM conversation, circa 1998.

    Sometimes my students use Comic Sans for their essays. I write on them, in big letters, DO NOT USE COMIC SANS!!!

    Liz – I think I used Comic Sans on an essay once in high school to try to make the page limit on the assignment. You gotta admit that it takes up a lot of space! ;-)
