I'm Erin Allen, and this is Curious City.

Have you ever been in an elevator that feels suspicious?

Like, yes, it's working, but that loud clang wasn't too reassuring.

And that big jerky movement did not help either.

Curiosity listener Harrison Pius recently found himself in one of those situations.

I'm a bit of a nervous person.

And this elevator was a bit clanky and groaning and going really slow to kind of reassure myself. I looked down at the safety certificate, and I thought to myself,

this will make me feel better if it's been recently inspected.

But then he saw something out of place, and maybe a little concerning.

It made it feel fake.

It made it feel not legit.

And it didn't make me feel any better in that moment.

And then I saw it everywhere.

What did Harrison see an important chunk of text in Comic Sans?

Yeah, the infamous font, Comic Sans.

What's the worst font ever?

What is it?

That's right, Comic Zance.

This is one of those things that when you see it, you can never unsee it.

That's Curious City listener Emma Nip, who also had this exact same question.

If you've ever actually read the certificate of inspection in a Chicago elevator,

you may have also noticed this one small line toward the top left of the page.
