A New Version of Comic Sans Actually Looks Pretty Cool
What's This?
Comic Sans, meet your hipper replacement: Comic Neue.
The most hated of fonts needs to watch its back in the typeface toolkit. Sure, Times New Roman and Arial Bold will stab you in the back, but Comic Neue is slashing Comic Sans from the front with no shame. This is full-out font war.
Graphic designer Craig Rozynski developed the new, funkier take on Comic Sans. He describes the new font as aspiring "to be the casual script choice for everyone including the typographically savvy"; it looks like someone told Comic Sans to straighten up and put on a tie.
Rozynski released Comic Neue for a free download for a limited time, so use it while you can to class up your documents.
