Can we talk about Papyrus

I… actually never hated Comic Sans and never understood why it was so hated. I mean, at least everyone knows about it.

I always thought the Algerian font was ugly as hell (it probably has nothing to do with Algeria)

Comic Sans really isn’t that bad, it’s just one of those things that became trendy to hate by people who are incapable of developing their own personality. Like the word “moist”

There are several monospace adaptations of Comic Sans which are great for use in terminals or IDEs. I particularly like this one:

I have never seen another terminal font that is so easy and fast to grok.

There’s just something about fonts that are supposed to look hand-written but are too perfectly curved, every letter looking perfectly consistent, etc, that my brain rejects.

Like when you see CGI or computerised physics in a film that’s 90% there, but there’s something about it that you can’t put your finger on that leaves a somewhat jarring “this isn’t right! Something is wrong here!” in my primative monkey brain.

Let’s bring back those animated gifs (mailbox and under construction) from the 90s. That’ll get everyone riled back up again.

I’m silly
