This newsletter pop-up from Betype made me laugh! I love it when humor is used in boring things like a pop-up, or an ‘Error’ page, or a ‘Terms & Conditions’ page. The graphic designers will probably get the joke. For the rest of you, I have to explain that ‘Comic Sans‘ is a font that everyone loves to hate! Most trained designers find it horrible, but at the same time you see it used everywhere, often inappropriately. The child-like handwriting font is so infamous, there is even a movement to try to ban it! Check out also Comic Sans Criminal, a ‘rehabilitation’ site that “helps people like you, learn to use Comic Sans appropriately”!!
