Attorney General Crack Down

Attorney General Crack Down

It is overly used and easily accessible as a nontraditional font. While many computer typing programs, such as Word, are equipped with various fonts, Comic Sans has become the go-to for a non-traditional font. Since it is so readily available, it has become improperly overused and ruins great digital creations.
