Comic Sans was invented in 1994 by Vincent Connare for the Microsoft Bob software and became widely hated by designers for often being used improperly, such as in official communications, where it is seen as too informal. While Comic Sans is legible, it is not considered a serious typeface by designers and more suitable for communicating with children.
