Wear Your Love/Hate of Comic Sans on Your Sleeve

We find Comic Sans terribly depressing, but is there change afoot in the status of this typographical albatross? Signs of backlash to the graphic design community’s longstanding Comic Sans backlash are evident in Veer’s new Comic Sans Love t-shirt (pictured above). Created “to convey the mixed emotions Comic Sans evokes,” the shirt features a detailed drawing of the human heart—”ventricles, valves, and veins”—comprised of letters set in various sizes of Comic Sans on a “snug-fitting” American Apparel t-shirt. Veer’s pumping irony will set you back $22, a small price to pay to tell the world (or your Valentine) that you heart Comic Sans—even if you hate it.
