Just a quick question about fonts for a conference poster... One of my supervisors has suggested Comic Sans, but I'm not so sure, I worry it looks a bit too 'wishy-washy'. Any thoughs or suggestions?
NEVER use Comic Sans (unless you are working at a infant/junior school). What is on the poster? Are you looking for a font for a main tag-line or is there a block of text/info?
I 'm not sure about comic sans. It would definitely stand out, but agree on the wishy-washy-ness of it. I'm a big fan of calibri but it does seem to be used a lot.
I've gone with Calibri in the end. :-) Looked fine - though my poster was smaller than all the others (A1). Some of the posters didn't even fit properly on the boards!
I've just come across a whole thesis in Comic Sans. :-)
