Comic Sans MS, has one font ever succeeded so much in being the Best Font In The Universe™?

Not even.

It's universal appeal is found everywhere. From your local take-away...

To flyers on the street...

Some people feel threatened by it. Leaving passive aggressive notes scathing it's existence. Science has proved that these people feel inadequate in the presence of Comic Sans MS and must lash out in it in the guise of 'being professional'.

But what would these people know? You think they can hide behind their corporate guise forever? Hardly. Step back and realise the power of Comic Sans MS.

It truly is the Lady Gaga of the font universe. It's appealing, it's funky, and it's hated by those who feel they're completely above it. Well if you're so "above it" then how come you're always so angry at it's existence? HUH? The truth is you can't understand just how much Comic Sans MS is the ultimate font that's loved by all.

 

[Sebastard]

I agree

Its the ultimate and always my first choice in msn. It just cant get wrong with Comic Sans!

 

[LProtag]

It doesn't look anything like the lettering used in comics anymore.

 

[Monocle]

How dare you equate Gaga to that symbol of all things profane.

 

[KevinCow]

How dare you equate Gaga to that symbol of all things profane.

Comic Sans: Symbol of all things profane
Gaga: Also a symbol of all things profane

They seem pretty equivalent to me.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

It's not my fault you can't see the link between how both of them excel in excellence.

It doesn't look anything like the lettering used in comics anymore.

And throwback jerseys in sports don't look anything like the styles used nowadays. It's just one additional factor to how awesome Comic Sans MS is - it's one big throwback to old style comic books.

As if that isn't just one big ol' +1 in it's field of awesomeness.

 

[nib95]

Personally I think it's a comical, trashy and tacky font which semi annoys me every time I see it.

 

[RobotChant]

I wish all of our posts could be in comic sans ms on neogaf. It'd neat.

 

[LProtag]

Also I seriously don't trust that chicken place, at all.

I've changed my browsers default font to Comic Sans MS. Haters don't even realise they're posting in Comic Sans MS.

 

[Replicant]

Yeah, how about NO?

 

[Lunchbox]

I like the Lady Gaga comparison.

"If you love it, you don't know much about typography," Mr. Connare says. But, he adds, "if you hate it, you really don't know much about typography, either, and you should get another hobby."

 

[hateradio]

Yeah, how about NO?

I hate it when these things are illegible because of tiny font syndrome. >:[

I thought for sure there would be a Dan Gilbert joke already, fo shame.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Hey Replicant, I noticed your decision tree is out of date.

Let me update that for you buddy.

 

[Apath]

I never knew people actually cared about font, given that it's legible.

Go watch the documentary, Helvetica. Run, don't walk.

Fonts are serious business.

You sir obviously don't know much about graphic design.

I'll make you some for 5 dollars.

[Tashi]

I prefer Georgia. The numbers look awesome.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Well numbers man, perhaps you should head back to the desk and continue your banal life as an accountant. Because us cool kids are out living in the DANGER ZONE with Comic and his pals Sans and MS.

 

[Kurtofan]

Only Wingdings matters.

 

[LProtag]

I think I have to go with Times New Roman. I mean, it's MLA standard. The MLA handbook is essentially my bible.

 

[Rctdaemon]

I like Papyrus.

Spoiler

Not really, I'm more of a Palatino person.

Not just numbers, the way the letters ascend and descend make it a great font. It also looks great in italics and bold.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

I've changed my browsers default font to Comic Sans MS. Haters don't even realise they're posting in Comic Sans MS.

css>browser default. you're posting in verdana or geneva most likely.

on this forum at 11px, verdana is A LOT easier to read than comic sans ms

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

All I'm hearing is "blah blah we're all lovers of fonts that don't matter at all to REAL people".

I bet you're all the type of people who put marmalade on waffles.

Get a real font, peasants!

[PetriP-TNT]

Comic Sans is the only font I care about, I force it on every page in existence

Perhaps, but you'll always have to fear someone fucking up your shit with Kremlin Courier II.

Comic Sans MS in italics is barely legible.

The troll font. Love it.

Hey it's not my fault that your eyes aren't able to adjust to quality levels of typeface. Maybe you should just take it easy over there with Baskerville Oldface. You guys can sit around and complain about your aching joints and poor eyesight together.

Except for the fact that it's less legible than both at 11px and italicized....

 

[MarkMclovin]

Is it weird to dislike any large font that has squared off sides/corners? It just looks ugly.

Also, gotta give a shout out to Bradley Hand ITC yo!

 

[phage]

Tahoma has always been my go-to.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Verdana has been my favorite for a while.

I'd have posted a note after that not to type in all caps with multiple explanation marks like a 12 year old girl on AIM.

Can you really blame them for being overexcited while using Comic Sans MS?

It's very hard to contain the energy you get when you know you're typing using the Best Font In The Universe™.

Exclamation marks? No amount of them can even come close to showing how excited you truly are.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Wait a sec, the 2 wings are classed as 2 pieces of the bucket???

 

[Steelrain]

I love this font. I used to put this font on every resume and you're goddamn RIGHT I'm overqualified. My resume alone would work it's way up the corporate ladder leaving behind a trail of shit and fear. Motherfuckers didn't know about Comic Sans.

When I wake up in in the morning I check the notes on my iPhone reaffirming my badass status. They too are written in comic sans. I wish Comic Sans had been created by God for use on the Declaration of Independence there would have been no war. The fuckin king would have been like "I ain't even mad".He would have read those words in that font and known he was dealing with some immoral motherfuckers.

I send my texts with a comic sans smiley face. Bitches love it.

 

[LOZLINK]

font wars up in this bitch

 

[racooon]

I use motherfucking Mongolian Baiti.

 

[dmshaposv]

Real men use Papyrus.
