Is that the middle name of all of them?
I thought Amanda Palmer had first dibs.

Look at the font. Allegedly, this is the original.
Which sums up this shitshow perfectly.

That they’ve always been easy to read?
That’s Comic Sans, which many people find difficult to read. YMMV.

Except for dyslexics. It works surprisingly well for quite a number of them, because the similar letters (e.g., “b”, “d”) have somewhat different characteristics. I’d have to concur with @MarjaE on this one - when I use Notepad for drafting papers, etc., I use Comic Sans because it is much easier to read than most of the other fonts - and I’m not dyslexic, I’m presbyopic.

While all of this is true… in this context, we’re talking about the lawyer of the President of the United States making an official statement for that President.
I’m sure they could come up with an easy-to-read font that would look a little more… official?

He wouldn’t be the lawyer of the current POTUS then, now, would he?

It might be interesting to do a poll on which fonts people find readable. For me, mainstream sans-serif and serif fonts tend to blur together into gray worms, and it’s hard to read the worms.

It was good enough to announce the discovery of the Higgs.
Though I’m not dyslexic, I would agree. There’s a lot of pretentiousness around typefaces, but they were originally designed to work with metal type. There’s nothing natural about our standards. If anything, comic sans is closer to monastic minuscule than moveable typefaces.

The most legible typeface I’ve ever come across is Sassoon Primary. I’ve tested it at some very small sizes, and it’s much easier to read than anything else I can find.
Similar in theme to Comic Sans, but much more tasteful.

Oh, that’s a gorgeous set of letterforms. It’s got a lot of character but yes, very clear and looks nice at loads of different sizes, judging from that sample.

I agree, it is nice. I note that it relates to handwriting with modern pens and pencils.
Carolingian minuscule looks the way it does because of quill pens, but that allowed for, note how similar are the b,c,d,e.
We’re off Trump, unless a teaching typeface would be better for tiny hands.

look at the intricate pixelation and anti-aliasing artifacts. All done by hand. The monks must have gone blind carefully refining each letter.
back to Trump?

Literally anything that people can employ to make themselves feel superior to others, they’ll employ.

Could it be a subtle form of opposition, by the assistant who typed it in, at least?

Could be. I feel kind of sorry for any assistants who have to work there.

The animation in that makes the logo look more like masturbation than it already does.
