The end result is a lot more pleasant than I expected it to be before clicking.

Other than Helvetica and maybe Times New Roman/Calibri, how many other fonts have had a lasting influence on culture?

I really don't get the fascination with Comic Sans. I've seen people set their system font on laptop or phone to it. How is it even readable?

A lot of what makes Comic Sans so ugly (lack of consistency or uniformity) also happens to make it more legible for people with dyslexia or similar reading disabilities.

Dyslexie explains it well in their about pages, https://www.dyslexiefont.com/en/typeface/

I wish the font was free, but there's always https://opendyslexic.org/
