Is there some sort of organisation or society for people who just don't care about fonts? I think we need a secret handshake or a bumper sticker or something.


The secret “handshake” is just using Comic Sans for everything.


I use Comic Code for programming[1]. At some point I got bored of all the squarish typewriter-like fonts that makes code look boring and mechanical. Comic Code is fun and human.

I used monofur[0] for the longest time, which is squarely in the category of quirky fonts, though definitely more regular than comic sans. It has basically no confusible characters in it at all which is a nice property.

This looks really good!

Now I want a mono spaced Papyrus font.


This is actually surprisingly nice! :)


No, those people went out of their way to choose a font. They're not members.


Yes, they're called peasants.


oh I care, it's just that I think the ideal font is the one you're used to and so you should simply pick the OS default everywhere. Plus those fonts are pretty good anyway so why not.
