Are we font snobs?


It’s clear; it’s simple; it’s easier for dyslexics to read. Why do so many people hate Comic Sans?


Is it too informal? Does it give a false impression of being friendly? Or has it been overused by teenagers and those who wish to appeal to them?


I’d love to know.

And I'm really disappointed - I thought I'd invented the phrase 'font snob', but googled and there are loads of examples of its use. Ho hum. It seems there is indeed nothing new.
