What are some suitable alternatives to Comic Sans for projects that require a friendly yet professional look?

For projects requiring a friendly yet professional look, alternatives to Comic Sans include fonts like 'Open Sans,' 'Lato,' 'Nunito,' 'Quicksand,' or 'Lobster' (for more display-oriented uses). These fonts offer a balance of approachability and legibility without the informal, hand-drawn connotations that lead to the dislike of Comic Sans.
