Why are we still using this font?

i feel called out by this entire thread because i use Comic Sans for my grocery lists and honestly i can't explain why -- it just feels right when you're writing down milk and eggs

all jokes aside though there's a real argument to be made that we over-disrupted typography. look at terminal fonts like JetBrains Mono or Fira Code -- those are objectively engineered for legibility, but we keep trying to make everything "minimalist" with sans-serifs with almost no character and zero personality

my honest take: use a good serif (I'm personally on the Times New Roman revival train lately) for body text because it slows you down just enough to actually read what you're looking at, and
