Thread bumped to link Judge Easterbrook's opinion issued this past Monday, which I figure may be of interest to the people who find this thread interesting—or at least the latter part of the opinion beginning with the second full paragraph on page 4. I enjoyed this, although calling out counsel by name is perhaps over the top and unnecessary.

Bernhard Modern isn't that bad. I've had to read worse fonts at work while being paid far less than a federal judge.

I'm gonna use Comic Sans in legal cases out of spite.

You're much younger than most Federal appellate court judges, which skew toward the "old fart" end of the scale.

Yeah, they're paid more. But if you want them to buy what you're selling, best to use fonts easy on their (old fart) eyes.

(speaking as a retired lawyer, whose pre-retirement job included writing briefs for which Federal judges were the target audience)
