Here’s a great article from the Boston Globe: What font says ‘Change?’ Type designers decode the presidential candidates.

As someone who mocks the use of Comic Sans and Papyrus, this was right up my alley.

  2. Wow. I use Comic Sans for my preschool newsletter…and I used Papyrus for my wedding invitations. I feel like I should feel really lame right now…but I don’t.

  3. Let me clarify, Erin. I abhor the use of them in advertising. And I support the use of Comic Sans when dealing with children because it’s so similar to handwriting.

  4. I have hated Comic Sans for years and have wondered why anyone in their right mind would use it. I’m so glad that I’m not alone in this loathing of Comic Sans!
