I must confess I did struggle with the first chapter of Just My Type. That’s because it deals with Comic Sans, and I am an avid Comic Sans Hater! When I stopped for a moment to consider how much I don’t like that font, and how well the case both for and against the dreaded Sans were put forward, I knew this was a book for me. It was great to learn about the font that I consider my nemesis and to learn that its designer, Vincent Connare, is fully aware of the mixed opinions and welcomes the banter!
