My boss tells me we need it in Comic Sans for the next meeting with our board of directors.

Thank you.

This is really important so we'll need to do this at least twice a day

No stop it, you’re stressing me out just reading it.

Don't worry, your manager will roll up their sleeves and help you code

And if shit hits the fan, he will take full responsibility before making the incredibly hard decision of letting you go after thanking you for all your hard work as part of the close-knit corporate family.

Real World aside: The other day I tried to 3D print small text. (Not super small, just the usual 0.4 nozzle size.) Comic Sans worked out best for this due to pretty constant line width.

Comfortaa works well for this:

I was once given a 3d print of my name by one of my father's friends who had a 3d printer at home.

I think this was what font they used except they had it all connected , that is if I am typing "test" then t is connected to e and then s and then t , in probably the same font as that of Comfortaa.

Fonts with 'routed' in their names are often a good place to look for this - they're named thus because they were designed to be scribed/engraved with a router, so very frequently have a constant width.

(and if you're up for a rabbit hole, https://aresluna.org/the-hardest-working-font-in-manhattan/ )

That was a delightful rabbit hole.

Also, thank you for the "routed" tip. Your rabbit hole also mentions "monoline" and the MIL-SPEC-33558 font too.

I'd upvote you ten times if I could. Made my day.

I would like to share the existence of Comic Papyrus: https://befonts.com/comic-papyrus-font-finally.html

It actually looks really good , but I don't see a option to try text like in google fonts for example. Let me see if its on google fonts

Edit:nvm the option to write text is below , I didn't see it. Its kinda cool actually.

Now there's a design that pops!
