In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Comic Sans” is an epic card of the Memes World series 75, number 22428 of the collection, and the 14th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Comic Sans” meme mean?
This meme expresses ironic disdain for poor typographic taste. It highlights the mismatch between the light, school-like tone of the font and the solemnity required in professional or administrative documents. The humor relies on exaggerating this shared visual discomfort among designers and the public, turning a layout error into a symbol of amateurism.
Where does the “Comic Sans” meme come from?
Comic Sans MS was designed in 1994 by Vincent Connare for Microsoft. It replaced Times New Roman in Microsoft Bob’s speech bubbles to offer a more casual, child-friendly appearance. Its inclusion in Windows 95 popularized it. The status of a “hated font” solidified with the “Ban Comic Sans” campaign launched in 1999 by two design students, who mobilized the web community against its use in formal contexts. This movement cemented the idea that its usage betrays a lack of aesthetic sense.
How to use the “Comic Sans” meme
- Use it to illustrate a poorly written resume on social media.
- Post an image of an official document in Comic Sans to criticize a lack of professionalism.
- Use it ironically in a meme caption to highlight the absurdity of a serious situation.
