If you love it, you don’t know much about typography, if you hate it, you really don’t know much about typography, either, and you should get another hobby.
– Vincent Connare
Comic Sans MS is a sans-serif typeface designed by Vincent Connare and released in 1994 by Microsoft Corporation. It is inspired by comic book lettering and intended for use in informal documents. Vincent Connare himself has admitted that whilst designing Comic Sans he had two comics in his office – The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen. He looked at the print in these comics and decided to adapt their fonts to make Comic Sans. Comic Sans is available on 99.13% of Windows computers and 90.91% of Macs, however only an estimated 60% of Linux users have Comic Sans installed. Comic Sans is not free so here are some free online ready alternatives:
