I don’t even know what it’s called, but I really hope it goes the way of Comic Sans

Edit: does anyone actually know what this awful font is called?

      Comic sans (originally designed for a comic dog character) is an awful typeface. It is constantly misused in serious settings such business contracts, medical notices, and legal documents. In the UK many schools use it. It is as appropriate as wearing a clown costume to a funeral. Using it makes any professional design look childish, sloppy, or amateurish There is very little peer-reviewed scientific evidence that Comic Sans inherently improves reading performance for students with dyslexia.

      It is? I’ve seen a couple fonts meant to combat dyslexia and they look very different from comic sans

        To my knowledge Comic Sans predates all of the dyslexia specific fonts. It’s liked in the dyslexia space because all of the letter forms are quite distinct and therefore easily differentiable.
