Copperplate Gothic Bold

Maybe Copperplate Isn’t the Greatest Font, Comic Sans Is!

Copperplate Gothic Bold is no longer the best font of all time, Comic Sans is!

We’ve had a change of heart, Copperplate Gothic Bold isn’t the greatest font of all time. Heck, it’s not really good for anything. Lots of people use it, there is nothing unique about it, and it’s a poor attempt for non-designers to become designers by using something that looks design-y. Honestely, we wish that Frederic Goudy would have dropped the tray of letters he created into the ocean never to be found again. If we could create one of those magic memory sticks like in that Will Smith movie where we could erase Copperplate from the psyche of the world, we would.

We’ve turned out sights onto a font that has long been up and coming, one that is revolutionizing the way humans communicate. Yes, we are talking about the NEW greatest font of all time…Comic Sans!!!

Comic sans is the perfect way to add a bit of informality into a formal world. A bit of fun and lightheartedness into a world that is cold, dark and damp. Children smile brighter, diseases stop diseasing, those jokes you receive in your email inbox from the distant relative actually seem a bit funnier all from the way that the text is displayed on screen!

So thank you Comic Sans and no-thank you Copperplate.

What were we thinking supporting a font like Copperplate that clearly needs to go the way of the dodo bird. You are a blight that needs to be dealt with. Comic sans is the perfect font to handle that task!

Note: Even though in jest, every word typed above made my joints hurt, I now know what it’s like to have arthritis. Today is April Fool’s day, what better fool than comic sans;)
