Why do some people like Comic Sans?
Comic Sans was unique from “common” fonts, so many people opted for Comic Sans rather than Times New Roman — even in places where it was not applicable. Comic Sans was plastered over lots of non-professional websites, homemade flyers, and even formal documents which created the most jarring effect.
Why is Comic Sans such a big deal?
The irregularity of its composition and the variation in letter height make it particularly readable for those who suffer from reading difficulties. Comic Sans was also part of a study by Princeton University which showed that the font could literally improve your memory.
Is it ever OK to use Comic Sans?
Comic Sans use should not be justified by claims of increased readability or benefits to dyslexic students or indeed for handwriting, but if you just like it, and your pupils like it, there is no good reason you should not use it.
