Comic Sans
Comic Sans MS is a sans-serif typeface created and designed by Vincent Connare and released by Microsoft Corporation in 1994. Designed as a non-connecting script, the typeface draws inspiration from comic book lettering, to emulate the informal and cartoonish tone of speech bubbles. It was originally developed for use in Microsoft's software, and since then has become very widely recognized for its use in casual contexts such as children's books, personal documentation and in educational resources.
The typeface was first introduced with Microsoft Windows as a part of the Microsoft Plus! Pack, and was later implemented into Microsoft Comic Chat as a comic styled chat application. Since then, Microsoft has described the font as "casual and legible" and a typeface which has garnered much popularity across a diverse set of user groups.
Comic Sans has however become a cultural phenomenon, gaining significant criticism and mockery due to its perceived overusage and misuse in professional and formal settings. Despite this, the font continues to hold a devoted fan base, particularly among education professionals and those in search of approachable and simplistic typefaces for specific uses.
