• Why Comic Sans?
  Vincent Connare, designer of what is probably the world’s most misused font — Comic Sans — offers insight into its origin:

Comic Sans was NOT designed as a typeface but as a solution to a problem with the often overlooked part of a computer program’s interface, the typeface used to communicate the message.

There was no intention to include the font in other applications other than those designed for children when I designed Comic Sans. The inspiration came at the shock of seeing Times New Roman used in an inappropriate way.
