Sans Comic Sans

On top of the list of the most hated fonts would have to be comic sans.

This video gives you the background of comic sans and why not to use it. I think it is important to understand what is bad about typography in order to know all the good stuff too.

P.S. Comic sans did not go down without a fight.
