THIS is how you Comic Sans: the Inkwell font

A gorgeous family of handwriting fonts. Incredibly diverse for a single type family, but it makes sense.

A gorgeous family of handwriting fonts. Incredibly diverse for a single type family, but it makes sense.

As Hoefler explains...

Not quite a typeface, or even a family of typefaces, Inkwell is more like a family of families, featuring a Serif, a Sans, a Script, a Blackletter, a Tuscan, and a set of Open capitals.

Some people don't get why you'd pay US$129 for a set of fonts.

Those people are also probably just fine with Comic Sans.
