Episode description
Comic Sans has been called everything from childish to tacky, but it might actually be the perfect example of what a typeface is supposed to be. We speak with author David Kadavy, lettering artist Alex Trochut, and “Why Fonts Matter” author Sarah Hyndman and discover how this divisive font came to be and how it represents the biggest revolution in typography since Gutenberg.
