This interesting look at grades in relation to the fonts used offer a look at the gravitas that certain fonts offer. This is not revolutionary but it does re-itterate that if you insist on sending me email in Comic Sans then don't ever expect me to take you seriously.

I even recieved formal letters in Comic Sans, which is simply wrong. The ONLY appropriate use of Comic Sans is in the context it was designed for, which was a comic strip chat program. It is not "friendly" or "funny" it's informal and cheesey as hell.

Put the Comic Sans down and walk away.
