Happy birthday, Comic Sans Dear typeface, over 20 years old and still going strong, congratulations on that! I've seen you in so many places, you were kind of hard to avoid. You are a blessing to everyone looking for a friendly word and you are a pain for those who prefer a straight face. You have been used on countless birthday cards and I even saw you in obituaries and on gravestones. You've made many people happy and you've made quite some people cry too. All this time I saw you, but you didn't see me. Now it's time for me to come out and play too. But I play more serious than you do. I'm almost funny and I tell tales with a straight face most of the time. My name is Serious Sans and I can only hope I will do half as well as you.



Not as serious as kerning,

not as comic as sans. About Serious Sans: The way the strokes of this typeface are drawn feels familiar because they look a lot like Comic Sans, making it as friendly as ever. But the skeleton that holds everything up is more formal than you are used to. As all elements are optically aligned, it is not half as playful as Comic Sans, but it brings something else to the table: credibility. As the joke goes, Serious Sans still may not have a severe 'Fortune 500' look, but it does not say 'Lemonade Stand' either.
