Comic Sans vs. Comic Serif

It's no secret most designers hate Comic Sans. But now, thanks to type designer Hannes von Döhren, we have a new (free) alternative called "HVD Comic Serif". Originally released in 2007, it now comes in a OpenType "Pro" version with an eastern, central and Western European language support.

The HVD Comic Serif should spread all over and make the world a little bit better.
