Well, here is the first of many posts. To hit the ground running, I thought I'd share with you an article about my favorite font, Comic Sans.
However ... that was sarcasm. I absolutely despise that font. I never have a reason to use it. I hate it because it is SO misused.
But, the rest of the world seems to love it. It's a font based off of comic books. It's childlike. But, people seem to think it's appropriate for anything. Tech services at my place of employment uses it for professional messages and it drives me crazy. I see it in restaurants that don't have children's menus, botanical newsletters, emails and so much more. The only place this font is appropriate is in a daycare and other child-friendly places. It's not mature and anything using it can't be taken seriously. (There are even websites out there banning Comic Sans)
This article put a smile on my face.
