Freedom for Fonts


Ban bans on specific fonts. This issue came to light recently when the website  bancomicsans.com emerged. We see nothing wrong with Comic Sans, even though it’s not our favorite font. Our favorite? Helvetica.

Like freedom of religion from the First Amendment, a similar provision should be passed for freedom of fonts.

Having said that, we recognize there are places where Comic Sans is probably not appropriate. Tombstones for example. And road warnings like “Falling Rocks,” “Bridge Out,” “Avalanche Area.”

Example of where Comic Sans is appropriate? Candy wrappers.
