Comic Sans

I like my fonts normal and readable.
Some people like them stylized and busy.

I remember a font from back in the day, everyone used it on like AIM, and cute emails, it was everywhere! Comic sans! It lives on and its out of control.

What's even sadder is that business sometimes are seen using this font as a letterhead! Uhhh it screams unprofessional and its a cry for help.

What's wrong with it you ask? Its retarded. Its too funky and just hard to look at.
Please don't use it. There's a site that actually jocks it. If you want to see it in all its hideous glory click this: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/css/gallery/spec2.htm
What's even more depressing? Look at the link this garbage came from. Aww, Microsoft, you were silly, what were you thinking?

Tangent: Ya, I used to love Microsoft and Internet explorer. I mean, it was way cooler and smarter to use back in the day then Netscape or AOL browsers. Thank God for Firefox. Right?

Back to Comic sans. What kind of name is that? More like Ironic Sans, or toxic sans. I can think of some better ones ;)

O fonts or typefaces if you will. You want your reader to obtain information as easy as possible. Not notice the font first. There are exceptions when you're making something weird. ha.

Just pick up a magazine or something and look at the type. Do it. Notice little things.

O i love typography.
