Everyone knows Comic Sans is a faux pas :)

I think I’m very fond of most serif fonts at the moment, like Georgia.

I like the witches font!

Wait, comic sans is a social faux pas? Nobody told me!!!

Ha! I only recently heard of the Comic Sans faux-pas myself :)

On my Macs, I like to use Skia; I haven’t found any I really like on Windoze, but since that’s work stuff anyway, I stick with Arial.

lucidia grande is a personal favorite. gil sans is a classic. comic sans will probably get a ironic hipster so wrong it’s right moment soon.

I’d like to correct my answer to TheSans Basic. Unfortunately it’s somewhat costly. I’d also like to say that have come to loathe Times New Roman and Comic Sans.

DeezerQueue's avatar

All right, one more time. Since Mirza actually went for the more obscure.

Archer – I’m gonna go ahead and say that Archer is by far the best font produced in the last 5 years
