StockID: 127991 SKU: AUG242239
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?
