To get to know Comic Sans a little more, we did some research into the reason the font was developed. Comic Sans was originally written to create a more kid friendly Microsoft program. The font wasn’t finished in time so Microsoft made it a font in their programs (West). In a study done on children between the ages of 9 and 11 were studied, seeing what fonts children find appealing. Out of the 8 fonts used in the study Comic Sans became the clear winner of the participants. Saying it is easier to read, and that they would prefer to have textbooks written in the font over classic Times New Roman (Bernard). When an adult study was conducted looking into perceptions of 15 type styles, Comic Sans was ranked the least professional font with a participant stating “[It is] not good for business or technical writing [because it] seems too childish” (Mackiewicz). In the article “How Comic Sans Got Useful” the author analyzed a study concerning  ease of learning compared with fonts used, discussing the fact that “adding a few minor difficulties to the reading experience is more likely to make pupils engage with the text” (Gill), which was done by Comic Sans.
