Comic Sans?

Come on, the text is pretty easy on the eye, like a neat hand-print; also, this makes the text look less "formal" (indeed, I have noticed that the way I feel about a text sometimes depends on the style or format it is presented in).

It isn't Comic Sans - the lower-case m is wrong. Comic Sans has a very jaunty and distinctive lower-case m.

I don't know what this actually is, perhaps some open-source stand-in. For some reason I haven't thoroughly researched replacements for Comic Sans.

Looks like the link has changed now anyway, so this is disappointingly moot.

Maybe it’s supposed to be ironic given the title.
