I was going to make a post on unpopular opinions saying comic sans is not as bad as people make it out to be and can be useful in some cases since it is easier to read. But decided not to because I wasnt sure kbin/lemmy felt about it.

    It’s not easier to read, I’m not sure where that myth came from. There’s fonts specifically designed to be easier to read for dyslexics and they look nothing like comic sans.

    Some people just want to make excuses for their questionable typographical decisions I guess.

      Some of those fonts are directly inspired by Comic Sans… such as Lexia Readable and you’d be pretty hard pressed to say Dyslexie doesn’t take inspiration from Comic Sans. I have Open Dyslexic on my pc and a few people have made a comment about it being comic sans.
