If you want fun but you don’t want dumb, then give HVD Comic Serif Pro a try! It’s the sophisticated alternative to Comic Sans and it effectively conveys the type of feeling I have for about 97% of the posts I write here on Doobybrain.com.
For those who don’t know, the text in the image above references Andy Milonakis.

Comic Sans from Sam and Anita on Vimeo.
Simon shared this short video about the typeface Comic Sans and how it has enraged, engaged, and affected all of us since its creation in 1994. I’d argue that Comic Sans is just as well-knwown as Helvetica and thus should have its own film as well. I wonder if it’d be any good or if it would just make me feel silly for over an hour.

Creative Review had a good April Fools’ joke on their website yesterday about how the 2012 London Olympics committee was contemplating using Comic Sans as the official typeface for the upcoming Olympic games. The reason why I think this was a particularly good April Fool’s joke is because it would actually seem plausible given the very real and ugly choice for a logo they are already using to represent the 2012 Olympic games.
Thanks to Joyce for filling me in on this one!
