    I agree with all of it, especially shooting for 2 fonts, one serif and one san serif, one bold and one not. It makes everything so much cleaner and better looking in my opinion.

    Additionally, I find that making them different sizes - usually around 4-6 sizes different, minimum - looks a lot better.

    If I'm not supposed to use Comic Sans and Curlz, then how am I supposed to do my quarterly newsletter for the office?

    There are so many good fonts available. You don't have to use Comic Sans ever.... even for comic books (its intended purpose)!

    Seriously, read this for great, solid, high-quality free fonts. If you want to replace Comic Sans, which you should, read this.

    Please y'all. The world would be a better place with Comic Sans.
