What the hell possesses people to use this work of the devil?

I received a letter to tell me a job application had been unsuccessful today, carefully penned in this hideous and unprofessional font.

And I thought this was about EMC.

I've come to the conclusion that people use it around children because it has no sharp edges.

I have been informed it is the only font that constructs a letter A when in small form in the same way as we write it.

Agree it does look like a 5 year old was typing though, Arial is my fave.

It is the closest thing to first national font within schools, so anyone in education thinks its great!!

I hate it! and Times New Roman.

Ariel FTW! or Tahoma.

Kiddie font!

Arial for me and sometimes Bookman Old Style. Our newsletter at work is done in comic sans, not my cup of tea but then I'm not the one who has to put the newsletter together, so fine by me!

All my work is done in Calibri or Ariel. Calibri's nicer, though.
