Comic Sans: The most annoying font in the world

Even if you didn’t know what it was called, you will be familiar with Comic Sans. Comic Sans is type that has gone wrong. It was designed with strictly good intentions by a professional man with a solid philosophical grounding in graphic arts, and it was unleashed upon the world with a kind heart. It was never intended to cause revulsion or loathing, much less end up (as it has) on the side of an ambulance or a gravestone. It was intended to be fun. And, oddly enough, it was never intended to be a typeface at all.
