Rozynski claims that the angular version was "a happy accident". In the latter, the rounded terminals ending each stroke are made angular. The typeface was originally released in two variants: Comic Neue and Comic Neue Angular.
He has said he hoped a type foundry or online type library such as Adobe's TypeKit would pick it up.
COMIC NEUE SANS FOR FREE
The original typeface can be downloaded for free from its official website, but Rozynski has suggested that he may sell future, more complete releases. It was released in April 2014 and a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign successfully raised $10,000 to expand the typeface to support non-English languages. He planned the typeface as a joke, but he soon began to take it seriously, commissioning Hrant Papazian of The MicroFoundry to improvements to outlines, spacing, and kerning of all 12 fonts in the family. When he first had the idea to "save" Comic Sans, Rozynski thought that the project would take him a month to complete it actually took three years. He wanted to refine the original letter forms to make them more sophisticated, to create "a version you couldn't easily fault", while "maintaining the honesty that made Comic Sans so popular."
Comic Sans has been called "the world's most reviled typeface," and Rozynski aimed to update Comic Sans to be more suitable to the modern generation and more widely acceptable, including "the typographically savvy." Rozynski based his design on the original glyphs of Comic Sans and have them "beaten into shape" to create a new typeface. Comparison of Comic Sans and Comic Neue in creating the new typeface, Rozynski made the strokes straighter and more regularĬomic Neue was designed by Craig Rozynski, an Australian graphic designer living in Japan, who wanted to create an informal script typeface similar to the controversial Microsoft font Comic Sans, which was created by Vincent Connare in the 1990s.
