It makes sense then, that the most playful state in the US–Nevada, home of Las Vegas–tops the list of places where the highest percentage of people use script fonts. Included in this category: Comic Sans–the world’s “most hated font.” Originally released by Microsoft in 1994 for use in their (now-discontinued) “Bob” cartoons, it has since been applied to things it probably shouldn’t be associated with: door signs, term papers, and letters from NBA franchise owners. These fonts, characterized by the loops, curves, and quirks of natural handwriting, are often employed for less serious content (comic strips), or when a personal touch is desired (invitations or greeting cards).
