The ill will of Comic Sans

Comic Sans is a font that has permeated, in the worst way possible, into restaurant menus, flyers, and anything else you can think of. Vincent Connare is responsible for creating the font while working for Microsoft in the 90′s. WSJ looks into the ill will of Comic Sans.

“We’ve been using that font for years,” says Peter Phyo, a manager at O’Neals’ restaurant across the street from Lincoln Center in Manhattan. “That is just the procedure. I wouldn’t know the exact reasoning. It also looks nice on the menu.” Mr. Phyo says he hasn’t had any complaints.

This is somewhat akin to Papyrus, which is quite popular among storefront signs and awnings.

Thanks, @canice.
