I have a confession to make... I code in Comic Sans (dtinth.github.io)

Seriously, though, Comic Sans was originally designed to be legible at the smallest possible font size, and the lack of hard lines makes it easier to read!

the very typeface you’ve been trained to recognize since childhood What does this mean? I feel like the one we learned from childhood would be Times New Roman since every teacher I had required that font.

I don't know how things are today but when I was a kid, some of my textbooks and many of my worksheets were in comic sans.

I'm from Balkans, most of our textbooks all the way to highschool were written in some type of Comic Sans. In highschool only English and Math textbooks used Comic Sans font rest of them used Calibri.

I think they mean all the notices and board that used comic sans.
