It was designed by Craig Rozynski with Hrant Papazian as a more modern, refined version of the ubiquitous, but often criticized typeface Comic Sans.

[3][4] Comic Sans has been called "the world's most reviled typeface,"[5] and Rozynski aimed to update it to be more suitable to the modern generation and more widely acceptable, including "the typographically savvy.

[7] He planned the typeface as a joke, but he soon began to take it seriously,[6] commissioning Hrant Papazian of The MicroFoundry for improvements to outlines, spacing and kerning of all 12 fonts in the family.

It was released in April 2014 and a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign successfully raised $10,000 to expand the typeface to support non-English languages.

[7][8] The original typeface can be downloaded for free from its official website, but Rozynski has suggested that he may sell future, more complete releases.
