Nothing says High Energy Physics like Comic Sans.


Designers vs physicists:

Designer sits in coffee shop wearing his hipster outfit drinking his hipster coffee, writing incensed blog post about the outrages of Comic Sans.

Physicist makes presentation on what is clearly a state-of-the-art advancement in the progress of high-energy particle physics (and thus, physics) to a world-wide community, live, and NOT a fuck was given as to what font is used. :P

Much respect to the latter folks.


Thank you! It seems very few people understand the immense pressure and intense atmosphere that surrounds work like this, especially in culminating times like these.

Fabiola would likely rather spend her time improving the quality of her analysis, which is undeniably more valuable to the scientific community than agonizing over the font.
