Occasionally, I’m a designer.
On paper that is. Flyers, brochures, posters and video graphics are things I design once in a while.
Font choice is always one of the most time consuming parts of the job. There are so many to choose from that you can spend more time than you’d like selecting just the right font for the tone you are trying to set.
One font that gets no respect at all is comic sans. I’m not sure why it is so disregarded. Maybe it’s the casual nature. Maybe it was overused. But it still has its place.
I wouldn’t use it for the Oscars. I wouldn’t use it for a five star hotel. But for a carnival flyer, a children’s book or a comic book, it is totally appropriate.
Why should a perfectly good font be disregarded simply because someone doesn’t think it has a place in the font book?
Sometimes we treat people like comic sans.
