Danielle McClune, writing on the Microsoft Design blog:

Comic Sans is the font that refuses to die. It’s been dragged, mocked, and meme-ified since the moment it became a household name. It’s been labeled childish, lazy, and unprofessional. Designers love to hate it. And yet, here we are, decades later, still talking about it. Comic Sans is still showing up in emails, on signs, in classrooms, and in protest posters. It’s survived countless waves of design trends and the court of public opinion. In a world obsessed with perfection, Comic Sans seems untouchable. Why? Because it’s fun. Because it’s flawed. Because it’s human.

This is a wonderful examination of the history of this font. It was born into a world of rigid fonts, offering a warmth and personable experience to a generation of people who were all new to computers.
