An Artist Perfectly Trolls Designers With a Comic Sans Typewriter

The easiest way to troll a pixel - agitate friend is to see you alone use Comic Sans for every email , message , and homemade birthday board you send them . pictorial designers hate the font , but the rest of the worldstill seems to revel its sense of whimsy , which is what inspiredartist Jesse England to hack a typewriterwith the Comic Sans fount .

A laser engraver was used to create a unexampled set of Comic Sans letter of the alphabet out of acrylic , which were then painstakingly glued onto the strikers of a Greco-Roman onetime manual typewriter . And Jessie even travel so far as to label the keys in Comic Sans using a vinyl tender to produce custom samara covers . His allegiance to the gag is applaudable .

But Jessie did n’t actually create the Sincerity Machine — as he ’s dubbed it — to drive people mad . rather , it serves as a commentary on how we create and consume media . Graphic designers may hate the font , but those without pictorial pattern skills use it as a form of unassumingness , or to ensure a message is n’t direct too gravely . So before any of you type enthusiasts depart send Jessie hatred mail , remember that he empathise your ire , and perchance it ’s time to finish getting so upset at a font .
