Papyrus and You

i’ve stopped trash talking comic sans after learning the font is actually one of the only dyslexia-friendly fonts that come standard with most computers and i advocate for others doing the same

In the event that you would like to continue hating Comic Sans, other dyslexia-friendly alternatives include Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Century Gothic and Trebuchet.

thank

Random fact: Verdana is one of the few fonts which was specifically designed to be as easy to read as possible, even at smaller type sizes. It was designed this way for use on screen, but the same principles apply in print too. This is part of why some Universities use Verdana as their default font for documents.

“In the event that you would like to continue hating Comic Sans” is one of the best things I’ve ever read on this website

I’ll take Comic Sans over Arial any day. 

Century Gothic and Trebuchet are both quite handsome typefaces.

I’m partial to Century Gothic as well. It’s serif, but not boring.

I default to arial for this reason, but I will now be defaulting to verdana or dyslexie. nice.

I don’t think I have dyslexia but that dyslexie font was the easiest fucking thing to read ever. Books should be written in that shit.

This is dope. I freaking love how much more accessible this information is nowadays.

for our dyslexic ravens.

I always thought I was a decent reader, but holy crap that BeeLine made reading enjoyable lol

Beeline reader also has a built-in setting for changing the font to the OpenDyslexic font, so not only will it help with tracking via the gradient color changes, it can alter the font to help without a second app/extension. I use both together and it’s wonderful!

Verdana is one of the defaults for AO3, IIRC. I set my default template to it in Google Docs for that reason.

update: this actually works. i’m so angry.

my fifth grade teacher made us write all our papers in comic sans 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am so angry yet happy as an author comic book writer and screenwriter

comic sans is the guy fieri of fonts and yall need to quit with the unnecessary hate like it’s fine and i for one cant wait for the day when yall figure out that, like guy fieri, comic sans is actually good, joyful, and while not always work appropriate, isn’t offensive.

ITS TIME
