The HVD Comic Serif Pro Project:




So many designers hate Comic Sans, to be fair it is ugly and the majority of us think people who don't know design are overusing this funny little friendly font, which is nearly every time out of place. However type designer Hannes von Döhren created a free alternative to Comic Sans. The difference is this typeface has serifs and a much damn cooler look. The big success of the HVD Comic Serif pushed Von Döhren to create a 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.”
says Hannes.

I found this funky little typeface on benhance.net and despite being a hater of comic sans do actually really like this type face as it is quirky and cool, and fits in a lot better with recent design as you can see in the images above.
