Why do people hate Comic Sans?

Answer 1

Comic Sans was originally developed by typographer Vincent Connare in 1994 to pair with a cartoon dog that helped folks navigate the Microsoft Windows interface. The font that was dubbed “playful” and “friendly” by its creator has since become a pariah in the typography community and a laughing stock on the internet at large. The reason could have to do with the font being used out of context, so to speak. Here’s how Jo Mackiwicz, a professor of rhetoric of and professional communication who’s researched how people perceive fonts, explained it to LiveScience:

“People, especially typographers, get upset when it's used improperly. For example, if someone sends an email or writes a document using it, it results in a mismatch — an informal, childlike, 'funny' typeface for a potentially serious topic. I think a lot of the reasons people hate it is that it's seen so often, and in places where it should not be used. The fact that it was being used outside of its rather limited purpose — that became obnoxious to people who knew better.”

Essentially, it came down to naiveté and novelty, he explained. "People didn't have much experience, and so they just picked what was different." With its unusual, playful style that mimicked handwriting, Comic Sans had mass appeal, triggering its rapid spread.

Answer 13

They don't really hate Comic Sans. They just want to have an opinion. Kind of the same way that everybody in Norway hates Donald Trump. Not because his politics or personality in any way affects their daily life, but because everybody else hates him. They just follow the crowd.

Not saying anything about whether or not they actually should have something against Trump. Perhaps they should? But I am saying their opinion is not well thought out, it's just the popular opinion.

Same with hate against Comic Sans. It has been used a few places it perhaps should have been avoided. Nice for birthday invitations, not so nice for warning against child predators in the neighbourhood.

I believe most people can't name more than a few fonts anyhow- and Comic Sans is probably one of the widely known names - so it's easy to have an opinion about it.

Personally I dislike Times New Roman more than Comic Sans. Times is not made for screens - so when used on screens it looks terrible.
