Comic Sans: Comic Sans is a typeface frequently used in comic books, manga, cartoons, and other items intended for children. It lacks serifs and has a bubbly appearance, making it easy to read. Personally, I have a fondness for Comic Sans not because of its aesthetic appeal, but because it reminds me of my childhood. Seeing this font in comic books, which was a major part of my upbringing, provides a sense of comfort.
Oswald: One of my favorite fonts for advertising purposes, such as logos and websites, is Oswald. It is a sans-serif typeface that features a slightly elongated design that draws attention and makes it both appealing and unique. Similar to Comic Sans, Oswald is easy to read and enjoyable to look at. I appreciate the simplicity and formatting of this font, as well as its clean and crisp appearance, which is typical of most sans serifs.
Times New Roman is a traditional serif font that is commonly used for formal documents, typed papers, and newspapers. I became very familiar with this font during my school years as it was the standard for almost every essay or paper I wrote from elementary through high school. While it is not my preferred font, it is deeply ingrained in my memory. If I were to create a document or paper, I would likely choose Times New Roman in point 12 due to my familiarity with it, although it is not required.
Nicely put, Julissa (you prefer “Julie,” yes?). You give compelling and touching reasons for discussing Comic Sans.
Oswald is indeed clean and elongated. Because Oswald is condensed, the small sizes can be a challenge to read.
As I mentioned at the end of Class 01, the readability of Times Roman is a key reason you were instructed to use it throughout elementary and high school. Back in the day—the 1930s—a man named Stanley Morrison commissioned the typeface for The London Times, with the instruction that it had to be easy to read (especially on newsprint paper, which soaked up ink).
You can call me Julie or Julissa! I just came up with the nickname because many of my previous teachers seems to have problems saying my name correctly.
