" Please welcome to the fold Comic Neue, and do not judge him on the misdeeds of his father, the bastard. Comic Neue is the lovechild, of sorts, of Comic Sans and Johnston (better known as the London Underground typeface) and a fair few other fonts. This is the first font from Craig Rozynski, an Australian designer. He envisioned Comic Neue as a so-called &amp;quot;sympathy font&amp;quot; (due to Comic Sans&amp;#039; universal distaste) and came up with Comic Neue, claiming that the process took him around three years, on and off. In an interview with Creative Review UK, Rozynski said that it&amp;#039;s the first font he&amp;#039;s created, and, to be blunt it, shows. It isn&amp;#039;t quite sure what it wants to be -- a casual font with a crisp edge, or a way more relaxed professional font. It&amp;#039;s the typeface equivalent of wearing your dress shirt untucked while longboarding and doing the &amp;quot;shaka&amp;quot; sign. It&amp;#039;s certainly pretty, but what on Earth can we use it for? Who are we to judge a font? Is a font sentient? Can fonts feel? Can fonts dream? Are fonts electric?  Graphic designer Caspar Newbolt says that the font &amp;quot;might work well for comic books,&amp;quot; but otherwise, &amp;quot;I wouldn&amp;#039;t use it&amp;quot;. The fact is, too, it&amp;#039;s nothing new. It&amp;#039;s reminiscent of a font called Platten, which shares maybe too many similarities with Comic Neue, as well as the aforementioned Johnston font. Could it be that Craig Rozynski seems to be getting an inordinate of attention simply because he picked a near-universally reviled font? Possibly. Allow us to take some advice from our Style brethren and apply it here: Just because the clothes fit doesn&amp;#039;t mean you need to wear them. You don&amp;#039;t have to use this thing. But, hey, he got the creator of Comic Sans to comment on it. So how does he -- and, by extension, Satan, murderers, insane people, the guy who wrote Starships for Nicki Minaj, and members of the underworld -- feel about this font?    should be more casual RT @craigrozynski:you inspired my first typographical project, http://t.co/Z9UopJrwsu.love to get ur opinion, \u2014 Vincent Connare (@VincentConnare) April 7, 2014    Mission accomplished.
