Making the World a Better Place One Font at a Time

From a compatriot in the battle against bad usage comes a link to Ban Comic Sans. Too long have readers suffered at the hands of mothers, HR supervisors, and the authors of yardsale and lost kitten flyers everywhere, all of whom are intent on propagating Microsoft's great crime against typography. The site even offers dozens of comicky fonts for those who need a graduated phase-out program to beat a Comic Sans addition.

If you know someone who abuses Comic Sans, tell them there is a place where he can get help.

This site has been a secret designer's haven for a couple years now. I send all my teacher friends there.

I fully support banning comic sans and would like to make an addition to the banned typeface list: Papyrus.
