My two bits, that being said I do enjoy joking about fonts and I’m going to check those websites out even tho to me it’s pretty obvious the popularity of comic sans is just people who have difficulty reading and are instintively responding to it, but we’ve all got our own quirks and different things work for each of us.įor me though like with your poster example, I was able to read the one on the right almost instantly, the one on the left took at least a couple seconds to absorb, I had to read through it a couple times. I’m just leaving this here for anyone else who has my problem, you could be dislexic and not know it, you could be color blind and not know it, the accessibility settings on a computer or phone can help, and just changing the default font to comic sans in your browser and checking the box to tell it to override the websites is what works for me. You all can be snobs about this and talk shit all you want but I’m reading this website in comic sans and able to write a comment in comic sans. Imagine how hard all card games are, video games are, try living in another country and learning another language with this problem. Imagine your entire life trying to read a book, reading one sentence then forgetting it, reading a page over and over and giving up reading. I tried other fonts and really comic sans ms on a mac is the best to me, It’s just the least distracting. I can get by pretending I dont have this problem but the reality is I need it as a daily driver. It feels like discovering you needed glasses for your brain. I cried the first time all I did was I just read through an article that interested me a couple months ago. So recently when I ironically changed my font systemwide to comic sans when I switched from mac to windows and wanted to make windows as frugly as it feels – and it turned out I responded well to it and I realized I was dislexic, my life since then this has been the first time I have been able to read ever. I also went to college for animation and learned design and became a font snob myself. I spent 30 years of my life unable to read, I cheated in school since 6th grade when I lied about the books I read otherwise the class wasn’t going to get to go on a pizza party for Book It. I hope this helps you! What other fonts do you know of that have a ‘true a’?ĬC licensed (BY-ND) flickr photo by (debz): Ubuntu Regular Italic (install the whole font family, or select regular italic to get the ‘true a’.)Īrchitect’s Daughter (this installed better for me within Google Apps) Muli (the whole font family works well with a ‘true a’.)

We need to choose a font to match the way we want our text to be received. The main reasons why Comic Sans bears the brunt of this font snobbery, really comes down to fonts having a personality and purpose: in the case of Comic Sans, it has a childish, overly informal quality, that I feel suits a very limited range of writing.įonts are the clothes with which we dress our words. Sites such as Comic Sans Criminal are solely devoted to the derision of the font. It is no secret that I am a bit of a font geek.
