So, another great article from Smashing Magazine – hopefully this will be redundant to some of you (if you are subscribed to the RSS).

This one’s about ‘Inspiring Typography Tales’ and it is just that. In the article you’ll get a great little history lesson about a few typefaces, a look into the New York City Subway font choice (Helvetica), a bit about Zapf Dingbats, an awesome video collection of ‘opening titles’ from Kyle Cooper, AND…

wait for it…

…the history behind Comic Sans!

This was super interesting and quite the story I was not expecting. I’m not saying you don’t have to stop disliking it, just that you should have a better understanding of the reason it came to be.

And since I know you’re so interested, here’s what the creator, Vincent Connare says about his (mostly disliked) font.

Enjoy!

As if you didn’t already know – but this clip has surely been seen in homes all over America.

And folks still use Comic Sans – I’m ashamed.
