I looked at the varying letterforms that each book had since all the letters vary because they are manually written.” I printed it out so that the weight was about the weight of the Marvel and DC books. Also most samples only used capital letters so I had little reference for them. I took care not to copy the letters but looked at varying shapes in different styles. The Dark Knight Returns a Batman book was one of the books I referenced often.
#COMPARE COMIC NEUE TO COMIC SANS SOFTWARE#
“I started with the font drawing software Macromedia Fontographer, trying to make the capitals in a similar form as the lettering used in DC, Marvel and all other company’s comic books. In a blog post he wrote regarding the font, he says: A comic software package had been developed by Microsoft that was using Times New Roman and so Connare decided that rather than Times New Roman, the software should instead use a comic-inspired font. A Little Back StoryĬomic Sans was designed by Vincent Connare while working at Microsoft. But few have created such a bad effect on design. So, how did a simple font get such a terrible name? The reality is that there ARE fonts worse than Comic Sans.
Thank God too-it’s about time this font falls into oblivion. Memes about Comic Sans are everywhere and there is more than one website dedicated to the font- not in a good way. And, more and more, it is becoming universally recognized as a terrible font-even though it’s use is still ubiquitous. “Why? Because it’s sometimes better than Times New Roman, that’s why.” - Vincent ConnareĬomic sans is one of the most loathed fonts by professional graphic designers.
