Rozynski has noted that most criticism of the typeface came from type designers rather than laypeople. Vincent Connare, the original designer of Comic Sans, thought that Comic Neue was not casual enough. He said the typeface worked well used in upper and lower case together, but not when used in all caps, which was how comic books were typically lettered.

Comic book writer Mark Evanier said that while the typeface was an improvement on Comic Sans, it still did not meet the standards of a professional cartoonist. On the other hand, some people have criticized the font for keeping the original's goofy, amateurish nature. Tyler McCarthy of The Huffington Post simply referred to Comic Neue as "a slightly less horrible version of Comic Sans", while Jacob Kastrenakes described it in The Verge as "a stylishly thin yet still playfully curly font that's generally much nicer to read than Comic Sans". The Washington Post reporter Caitlin Dewey also felt that Comic Neue was an improvement on the original typeface and made Comic Sans "cool again". Co.Design 's John Brownlee felt that Comic Neue succeeded in refining Comic Sans while remaining casual, writing: "If Comic Sans resembles the handwriting of a 10-year-old with excellent penmanship, Comic Neue is the block lettering of that same kid as a high school senior." Amanda Kooser of CNET described Comic Neue as "Comic Sans' much more attractive and worldly brother" and opined that the new typeface had successfully redeemed the "much-maligned" original. VariantsĬommentary on the typeface has been mostly positive. He has said he hoped a type foundry or online type library such as Adobe's TypeKit would pick it up.

The original typeface can be downloaded for free from its official website, but Rozynski has suggested that he may sell future, more complete releases. It was released in April 2014 and a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign successfully raised $10,000 to expand the typeface to support non-English languages. He planned the typeface as a joke, but he soon began to take it seriously, commissioning Hrant Papazian of The MicroFoundry to improvements to outlines, spacing, and kerning of all 12 fonts in the family.
When he first had the idea to "save" Comic Sans, Rozynski thought that the project would take him a month to complete it actually took three years. He wanted to refine the original letter forms to make them more sophisticated, to create "a version you couldn't easily fault", while "maintaining the honesty that made Comic Sans so popular."

Comic Sans has been called "the world's most reviled typeface," and Rozynski aimed to update Comic Sans to be more suitable to the modern generation and more widely acceptable, including "the typographically savvy." Rozynski based his design on the original glyphs of Comic Sans and have them "beaten into shape" to create a new typeface.

Still, as Rozynski says, Comic Neue remains “perfect as a display face, for marking up comments, and writing passive aggressive office memos.”ĭon’t miss the expert appraisal tweeted from Connare himself, near the bottom of the Comic Neue download page.Comparison of Comic Sans and Comic Neue in creating the new typeface, Rozynski made the strokes straighter and more regularĬomic Neue was designed by Craig Rozynski, an Australian graphic designer living in Japan, who wanted to create an informal script typeface similar to the controversial Microsoft font Comic Sans, which was created by Vincent Connare in the 1990s. Since it’s free, it has the potential to get around… but at least for now, it’s not shipping with a popular operating system. It will be interesting to see how Comic Neue fares. If you are as irked, you’ll appreciate what can happen to any typeface when it’s used without thought, and way too often.įor one last dose of irony, this Wall Street Journal article reports that Comic Sans creator, Vincent Connare, produced his design in response to overuse of Times New Roman.

movie trailers, Discovery Channel and Cartoon Network logos, every other movie poster, and Wendy’s fast food to-go bags.
Our collective resentment-which extends well past the design community-has more to do with its misuse, which is why you may want to employ this new incarnation with restraint.Ĭomic Sans isn’t the only typeface open to misuse of course is anybody else feeling a growing unease about the proliferating use of otherwise-exquisite Gotham? It’s been spotted on U.S.
As much as we love to rip poor Comic Sans, one of its greatest aesthetic offenses has little to do with its design.
