Comic sans - that's why you shouldn't use the font

There is hardly a font that separates spirits more than Comic Sans. In this practical tip, we explain why you should not use the font.

That's why you shouldn't use Comic Sans

The Comic Sans MS font came to our PCs with Windows 95, and it was also found on the Mac shortly afterwards. From then on, the typeface began a triumphal march that many did not like. You can find out what this means here:

• Comic Sans is a fuzzy and childish font that often doesn't make a serious impression. Therefore, you should definitely avoid using the font on a more serious letter.
• You should also refrain from using Comic Sans on your website. On the one hand, the content on your website looks less serious, on the other hand, there are a lot of people on the Internet who detest this font. There are a lot of sites on the internet that advocate the abolition of Comic Sans.
• Google also experimented with the controversial font. For example, AdWords ads were served in Comic Sans for a short time. While these ads got more attention, they also received far more bad feedback.
• For longer texts in particular, you should use fonts that are easy to read. For most readers, Comic Sans is literally a "screaming" font and is therefore not pleasant to read.

Comic Sans - the font is suitable for this

• Comic Sans, on the other hand, is easier to read for dyslexics. The large spacing and the simple letters help people with reading difficulties to recognize the letters better. Small fact on the side: Dyslexic characters can also decipher letters in blue more easily.
• Even if the font was not designed for professional use, it is ideal for small jokes. Many children enjoy the font.
