Look at the bright side. At least they didn’t use Papyrus.

If the point is for the message to be not taken seriously maybe Comic Sans is a good pick, of it’s to be taken seriously, read and understood what font would you pick?

Scenario: There’s a gunman or cougar on the loose - the kids are panicking, the teachers have locked themselves in the supplies cupboard – what would be the best possible font to use to get the procedures across to the kids to avoid them getting mauled or shot?

Font nerd that I am, I paid more attention to the school typography than to the stuff I really ought to; good thing my wife was there to listen to the teachers.

Happily, no Papyrus to be seen anywhere. There was Comic Sans for signs telling what to do in life-or-death situations, Helvetica for room numbers and other directional signage, and a very Celtic uncial face used to promote Spanish language classes. (There were(/are?) Celtic people in the Spanish region of Galicia, but I doubt that the sign designer knew that.)

Actually, based on what I saw, I suspect that the students are more clued in about appropriate font selection than are the school administrators. A hopeful sign.

I didn’t really hate Comic Sans until our administrative assistant used it to post a funeral notice.

That sounds more like a reason to hate the admin assistant.

How about the title of a manual of heavy rail operating prcedures set in CS?

(Getting into and out of a shool without seeing Comic Sans put to strange and amusing purposes would be pretty amazing)
