What do you like or dislike about this font ?
Comic sans is so ubiquitous because it is easier to read for people with reading difficulties like dyslexia. So I let people do what works for them.

Atkinson Hyperlegible and OpenDyslexic are both fonts that were actually designed for that. And Atkinson at least doesn’t look ridiculous.

There is an actual opendyslexic font and it doesn’t look much like comic sans. It has a very distinct heavy and light weight line to it, on a printed page the light areas barely show.
