I love how a font can inspire this kind of deep, primal anger. Like smelling salts for the feels.

Yes. My other half hasn’t got over the 30 minute rant and regular random explosions about it to this day when we hired a plumber and his van had comic sans and clipart from Microsoft office on the side. This was 15 years ago.
While we're on the pedantry topic, I'd like to put in a word for proper sentence structures.
You don’t realise it until you see something truly bad.

I remember there was an algorithms book that was set in this typeface that was literally difficult to read. It made it harder to process the content.

The way things look is important.

> this typeface

Which?

My guess is he replied to the wrong comment, and meant comic sans
Perhaps I should have said “some typeface”. I can’t remember the name of the book or the font.

I remember the book was laid out using TeX though.
