it's the little round letter a that gives it away'tis why it's used in pre-schools and nurserys everywhere - easier for the little shits darlings to draw than the curly a in most fonts
Trouble is it's become so prevalent in the education field that now it's being perceived as childish when seen out of context - like on top of the National Rail Enquiries page f'rinstance.
It's sort of like a regional accent - there's nothing wrong with it per se, but Comic Sans makes you blink when heard in an unexpected place. Imagine an East End of Lahndon market stall manned by Phil wossisname from Time Team.
