For some strange reason this font appeals also to me - 41 y.o. adult

What’s more strange is that we’ve generally decided that adults aren’t “allowed”, or supposed to enjoy fun things.

A Kermit text for my new Kermit95 terminals?

Cool font bro, but what's the license? I can "use" it in Microsoft Office? That raises more questions than it answers.

This is why I only use Google fonts. They're all permissively licensed so I don't have to worry about anything.

On a serious note, that doesn't appear to be a font named Kermit, so it's unlikely that there will be confusion with this if someone is talking about replacing their typeface.

Not sure about the educational component as I have no knowledge, but the font is sleek and feature rich. Comic Sans just got good.

I like it better than Comic Sans.

This is a font by adults to adults: the ones in charge of the KPIs.

The font is cool, I have no gripes with it. The things I can't stand is the absolute corporate BS coated with a heavy layer of weak "science" and "empowering kids".

If the work is good, just let it do the talking. No need for waterboarding us with waves of corporate slop.

Again, the font is fine. Congratulations to the people who worked on it.
