Comic Sans The Biography Of A Typeface Hardcover
Description:
Since its accidental creation at Microsoft in the mid-1990s, Comic Sans has become one of the most used and talked-about typefaces of the digital age. The subject of April Fools' pranks and endless internet discourse, Comic Sans has spawned a movement to ban it, inspired revivals and spinoffs, and continues to be promoted widely by educators. In this delightful history, best-selling author Simon Garfield tells the story of how Comic Sans emerged from speech bubbles on educational software to become one of the most recognized-and reviled-typefaces on Earth. Could Comic Sans now be the coolest typeface ever made?
