They had it coming…

Oh my god, that’s just pure genius. :D

I freekin’ LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!~!!!!!!!

Much more readable and cute too.

Mikey :op

If you don’t get the joke, refresh the page.

No, don’t empty your cache—you’ll regret it, even if you’re fed up with Super Duty!

Type irony is great — although I may be worried that someone who’s never seen Typophile before might get the wrong idea from it :-)

I would have done Papyrus myself, but I think anymore complaining and they’ll put flashing random background/text colours in and screaming sounds.

I’m new to this site so I have to ask, do great stuff like this happen often?

Great stuff? All the time!
Like this? Apparently slightly less than often enough.

Not only a readable typeface, but a great laugh.

Utterly brilliant.

This is very funny. Laugh out loud funny.

But at the same time - I am excited to see the post-cs choice.

I’m new to this site so I have to ask, do great stuff like this happen often?

Not super often. In fact it might be a long hard cs flavored winter around here now...

I see someone got their $20 bucks worth :-)

LOL!!! Freakin awesome! :-)

Typocalypse Now!

I love it! Can’t stop laughing. Thank you Vince and Punchcut.

And I hate to say it but it is easier on the eyes than Super Duty.

Nice one.

One can’t think of too many other fonts that need promotion less than CS. So was it indeed all that CS-bashing on this forum that brought this about?

In which case, maybe there’s some profit in trashing, say Meta Serif? ;)

The moral of the story: Be careful what you wish for ;-)

im melting. im meeeelting. :{

Hahaha! :D

if only they had used the bold weight... :^p
oh no! i’m a complainer too.

i just puked in my mouth a little

>i just puked in my mouth a little

So that’s what your avatar is ;-)

... if only they had used the bold weight ...

And faux obliquing.

g.

Oh. My. Gawd.

See, people? Careful what you ask for. ;-D

And now a request of my own — shouldn’t the bold weight be featured, since these are headers, after all? :-) [EDIT:] Oops. Someone beat me to that request already. Heh-heh.

I’d like to see an outline version. That’s when, IMO, cs really looks its best.

I like it. Simple, yet understated. Love the hooks on the lowercase s!

ROFL :^D :^D :^D

I knew it I knew it I knew it!

Excellent! The font of the people.

The font of the people.

Hey, Paul, that’s a thought. Maybe there should be a People’s Choice Award for typefaces (wait, make that fonts). :-D

I don’t use it, but that is strictly a personal preference, not some objective truth. I’m not against any font, they are what you make of them…

pbc

Apple Casual is a secret font included in a Tiger app- iDVD?
Poor kerning but trés cute!

Mikey :-)

love it. thanks punchcut!

next is times new roman. or we could do Felt Tip?

Mikey, am I detecting sarcasm or not?

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Be good or Papyrus is next. =)

How about Sand?

Btw, how much does it cost to feature a typeface of the Typophile?

This makes me think life would be better if I went around assuming everyone was using comic sans ironically.

Also, my self-reviling hipster heart just brimmed a little. : )

Oh no satya, what are you going to do?!

OK, that was funny... but eventually you’re going to stop laughing, and then you’ll want to get rid of it.

Oh no satya, what are you going to do?!
I was thinking something too. ;-)

Imagine if the flash titler supported animating multiple master fonts. There’s a few interesting ones out there!

Spire: thank you, you just saved me.

Alaskan> no sarcasm.

haha! I love it.

Should have waited for April though :P

christ. this is the moment that typophile jumps the shark and all you fools clap and cheer.

Mikey,
To each his own. As an aspiring graphic designer, you should be very careful how and when you use it.

Personally, I agree with Ray Larabie.(edit: Not Ray, I meant David Combs!)

By the way, I did backup that important letter from a parish of my hometown I sent David.

Brilliant. One in the eye for all the haters.

C’mon. Muzz, where is your sense of humor?

ChrisL

This thread would probably go the same way if it had been Helvetica or Arial

Arial, yes.

Helvetica? No.

(Papyrus? Hell yes!)

jumps the shark

Even though I imagine you are fishing - I’ll bite. What is this turn of phrase?

-e.

jumps the shark

It’s a reference to a Happy Days episode in which The Fonz did that, and thereafter to any extreme event that marks the downturn of a TV series, and tangential analogs.

you can say ’i love you’ in comic sans, you can even say it in bold faux italic if you want to be fancy...

hehe... i liked super duty... and i almost like cs... well... ok maybe not... but it is about as far from super duty as one could get...

cheers

jumps the shark

Hi Eben, I once was at a loss with that, too … and: there even is a long Wikipedia article on this phrase.

Jason Pagura, nice to know that linguistic curiosity, I used to enjoy “Fonzi” (that was his Italian name) back in the happy days. No, but our days are not sans comic or sad, I am doing fine.

Looks better up there than it does in an email. Funny stuff. Thanks to whomever!

It’s the scientific white around that makes it dapper.

To connect this thread to another recent typophile thread - Fonzie’s “jump the shark” stunt was inspired by one performed by Evel Knievel (R.I.P.) that cost a cameraman an eye and hastened his retirement.

It takes a sort of transcendence to sacrifice the body for the amusement of others, although teh Fonz probably had a stunt double. Maybe this resurection of CS will give us all pause, kinda like Charlie Brown’s x-mas tree.

or not…

Arjen, that’s not Comic Sans, looks like a system bitmap font?

Off topic but of interest - Apple’s Kernel Panic, gray “screen of death”... http://osxbook.com/book/bonus/chapter5/panic/

Ah, much prettier!

Cheers, Si

Victory is Ours!

O’ me gaa’d! They killed Comic Sans!

Better than killing poor Kenny.

Every good joke relies on timing. Sorry to make CS the butt of yet another joke and I’m even more sorry if you didn’t get the joke at all.

Cheers and thanks for your patience as we work out the best sponsorship models for T’phile.

It was a great joke. And a great deal for Veer because Ommegaand looks soooo much better in comparison.

Satya, its now more affordable than ever. Email evens { at } punchcut { dot } com for sponsorship rates.

Simon: That’s no system bitmap font; it’s Lucida Console, rendered without anti-aliasing.

(Pre-NT versions of Windows displayed the BSOD in text mode, so they used the default MCGA/VGA-compatible font stored in the video ROM.)

Bjorn, the DIY series is awesome.

I suppose now I understand why CS is the official font of democracy in California!
