    Comic Sans gets a bad rap but I used it for my system theme font on my first smartphone years ago. The same is said about Papyrus which was my favorite OG default font for mspaint.

      all comic sans ever wanted was for us to have some fucking fun. we ridiculed it, even as it turned out it had major benefits for neurodivergent readers. we are the villains, not comic sans

        I remember the first time I discovered Comic Sans. Probably like many other people - I was playing around with fonts on a school computer, and was like whoa… what is this font, I love it! It’s like a comic book!!!

        Like seriously what is not to love.

        Then my generational cohort of cynical millennials took to the internet and bonded over mutual hatred, and dragged this poor typeface which only ever wanted to bring a little levity to otherwise cold, machine produced text.

          and it was never really comic sans we hated, was it? it was our managers using it to pretend they were fun. we all collectively bonded over blaming the wrong thing for our frustration

        When I was in school for graphic design, anyone who used a default font would automatically fail a project.

        Also, current SNL sucks compared to this.
