Instagram rolled out several new fonts to Create Mode for Stories today, allowing users to issue their transient missives in a wider selection of styles. Typically, having more options to choose from when crafting Stories would be a welcome development.

Created by former Microsoft font designer Vincent Connare, Comic Sans was based on the lettering in graphic novels Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns (lettered by Dave Gibbons and John Costanza respectively).
