Inspired by comic strips and hated by font designers, new research suggests Comic Sans may help people remember what they read.
Comic Sans was released by Microsoft in 1994, as a font that looked friendly and childlike but most importantly did not look 'techie'.
But the font does not enjoy overwhelming support. A few years ago there was an internet campaign to have it banned, and there are forums where designers and typographers whinge about the font's awkward weighting and haphazard kerning.
US researchers from Princeton University and Indiana University decided to test what effect 'difficult to read' fonts such as Comic Sans have on learning and retention.
They recruited 28 volunteers to complete a task that involved remembering a set of features for three fictional characters.
One group received the list in 16-point Arial font, while the other two groups received lists printed using 12-point Comic Sans MS or 12-point Bodoni MT.

Eddie Vedder talks with Surfline about his new solo album 'Ukulele Songs' It's like the music is the wave -- the lyric and melodic structure -- I feel that's where the transition comes in; that's the moves on the wave that you make and trying to pull that off without wiping out. You've played music onstage with legends. |
