In 1995 Microsoft released the font, Comic Sans, originally designed for comic book style talk bubbles containing informational help text. Since that time the typeface has been used in countless contexts from restaurant signage to college exams to medical information. These widespread abuses of printed type threaten to erode the very foundations upon which centuries of typographic history are built.

While we recognize the font may be appropriate in very few instances, our position is that the only effective means of ending this epidemic of abuse is to completely ban Comic Sans.

Lets face it, even back home in singapore, throughout every powerpoint presentation that i've sat through in my days at Ngee Ann Poly, the use of Comic Sans is widespread. Clearly, Comic Sans as a voice conveys silliness, childish naivete, irreverence, and is far too casual for such a purpose. It is analogous to showing up for a black tie event in a clown costume.

Join me on the anti comic sans bandwagon. Check out bancomicsans for a detailed analysis of the epidemic's extent.
