Its not as packed as Arial. And I know this is more personal preference than anything, but its taken me an awesome amount of time writing to figure this preference out.
I had a font I loved more than anything for years, and have changed a few times since then. But that moment of finding the perfect font... of seeing how much more enjoyable writing is when you actually like your font.... it is a wonderful feeling!
I mean comic sans became a joke because it was so over used, it was so over used because it is actually really easy to read. So I don't find liking it all that strange.
