Anybody know any good free fonts for a webcomic?

[J.Lovelace]

From the title of your comic I assume it's sci-fi, so look through the "Modern" category, and it would be best if you can find a font that's easy to read (because a lot of them can be confusing and only work well as a title/logo font)

Thanks. I kind of already have a font for logo chosen, but it's not quite set in stone yet. So I'll keep looking.

[J.Lovelace]

Have fun ovo/
Some of the fonts are pretty insane XD It's fun to browse them just to see what one can find.

@aqua03 You might want to try Blambot! They offer open-source and licensed fonts for dialogue, SFX, and titles/logos.

Here are some links that I think might help the most?
http://www.blambot.com/fonts_dialogue_uncon.shtml
(Non comic-bookish fonts for original-looking dialogue)

http://www.blambot.com/fonts_design_fanscifi.shtml
(fantasy/sci-fi fonts that might be good for logos/chapter titles/etc.)

[aqua03]

Neat. Thanks for the help!

@J.Lovelace Yeah, it is fun to just look at all the crazy fonts that you'd never normally use just to see what they look like. (I was actually thinking of using some of the harder-to-read sic-fi fonts for possible alien language.)

[J.Lovelace]

That's a good idea, I do that too XD

[aqua03]

You know, I just realized that I should've also asked you guys what fonts you use for your comic dialogue. That could've really helped me narrow down some choices.....

They have quite an extensive library of fonts designed to resemble all kinds of comic book styles, ranging from Marvel to Manga. Some require you to pay for a license, but there is also a pretty extensive collection of free fonts.

EDIT: Oh, never mind, looks like somebody beat me to the punch on Blamdot.

I will second Blambot fonts- they have a very nice, diverse group of fonts geared towards comics/comic book making.

lately i've been using Ames but I've found a good few through Google Fonts as well

[aqua03]

Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions and help. I discovered Back Issues recently and that's worked out wonderfully so far. I will, however, keep you suggestions in mind when I need to look for other fonts for projects.

I'm using a font called Monsteratt - it's kind of modern-looking and it's pretty readable (even from far away).
It looks like this:

I dunno - I've relied on this and so far it's been working great

[aqua03]

Neat. Might give it a shot sometime.

For Remember I'm using Laffayette Comic Pro and I'm happy with that <3 Also good: Anime Ace BB =)

[aqua03]

I actually use Anime Ace for my current comic, Edible green Tea. It's a pretty good font for my Newspaper-style comic.

Hello,
I don't know if it would be good for sci-fi, but in case you wanna check it out I have created my own font and made it open source so anyone can download it, modify it or do whatever they want with it

The link is in this article: https://kotopopi.com/the-kotofont-and-how-to-pick-a-font-for-your-comics/

There are also other info about choosing the font for your comics.

Cheers!

[aqua03]

Neat, thanks! I don't think it'll be good for what I'm going for, but I'll definitely keep it in mind if i need it for another project!

[cleo_san]

tbh, I started out with Anime Ace for Remember - but I wanted a font where capital letters and small letters are a little bit distinghuishable, so I switched to Laffayette =)
