Meet ‘Comic Spurs’, a typeface that “aims to rehabilitate the world’s most reviled font”—the Comic Sans—which might revolutionize the way people look at it, especially hipsters.
Created by creatives Michael Kleinman and Declan Byrnes-Enoch of James H. Goldberg Deskwear Collection, last featured for their quirky 3D printed rings for creative colleagues.
The Comic Spurs is “a font with comedic, and aesthetic value”—what they actually did is combined the infamous Comic Sans font with spurs, which is usually added to give a typeface the illusion of it being hand-drawn.
Kleinman and Byrnes-Enoch told Fast Co. Design “It was intended as a joke about how fake everything seems now, with words like 'artisanal' and 'bespoke' thrown around like they mean nothing at all,” and “Comic Spurs is the font for that fakeness”.
