CNN on type: Cavs owner's letter mocked for Comic Sans font

At least we're not the only ones who've come to an opinion about this dreadful font:

Since posting a link this http://typophile.com/node/72094 (12hrs ago) I've come to the conclusion that the use of the font was a calculated move to maximize the publicity around his message.

You can take that to the bank! :-)

Personally I would have use the official Cleveland Tourism font as seen here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysmLA5TqbIY&feature=player_embedded

Comic Sans is the brainchild of Vincent Connare

At least CNN acknowledges that designing a typeface is not a no-brainer, even if it’s Comic Sans!

I like this one too... http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=gallo/100709_lebron_deci...

"It's the hot new font. And it's all thanks to Dan Gilbert. In fact, I typed up and submitted this column in Comic Sans. Really! (Editorial note: It's true. He did. Sigh.)

So if you feel like firing off an angry letter today, remember that some of America's top executives trust Comic Sans to get their point across. Comic Sans: for when you want to show you're sans comedy!"

Just imagine Dan Gilbert had Microsoft Office 2010! He could have used the new Comic Sans 2010 font we just released. Imagine how that would have gone over!

So many new ways to be creative: http://www.ascendercorp.com/pr/2010-07-06/

I'm several years past the point of wanting people to stop using so much Comic Sans. Now I would be happy for people to use Comic Sans as much they want, as long as they stop talking about Comic Sans.

>as long as they stop talking about Comic Sans.

I think you're at stage 4 - http://www.recover-from-grief.com/7-stages-of-grief.html

Bill you should have made 'SLAMDUNK' in CS2010 and put back Euri the Euro fcuk the EU.

Even after all the outrage Gilbert's latest letter still uses Comic Sans.

I've reformatted it using CS2010...

Yeah, CS2010 was made for that.
Sure ain't no girly font.
No little hearts instead of dots on the "i"s.
Looking forward to Chalkboard Next.
