Fonts for Comic Creators

[lynestjules]

Thank you for this topic. I'm sure it's going to help out someone who needs it. I used the wrong kind of font for my comic for the longest time, but for this year, I made my own using Calligraphr .and I use Ebrima for narration and use Showcard Gothic for sound effects and manipulate it for my liking.

I uploaded a few samples. I'll upload more later

For my mini comic series, I'm using Arch Rival, though I'm still searching around for more options. I want my fonts to be royalty free though. xD

Now that's a nice font actually!

Off topic, but I adore that last comic! It's so charming. The humor reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes, one of the first comics I really got into. <3

[ninjashira]

Aw, thank you! It was a comic strip I drew ages ago about my siblings and I as kids and all the madness we got up to without parental supervision

If you wanna read more of it, it's all at http://fluffernutters.thecomicseries.com/ - I haven't drawn any in a long time, but it's pretty darn cute if I do say so myself.

Thank you! I actually went looking for it on your Tapas profile and was disappointed I couldn't find it! ^-^; I'll definitely give that a read!

I like this font. It suits your art style so much!

I used to like Komika but there is something about that puts me off now. I think it's too geometric/angular...idk...maybe it's not soft enough for me anymore.

[magnavarra]

yes it's rather straigh and ithat's make her slightly more earnest which fits the style of my current comic - not to funny and not too ligjthearted

I'm a font junkie too! I now own all the dialogue fonts I listed above (even though I actually only use like 3).

Victory Speech is from Comicraft too. I didn't buy the full set for $149. I just bought the regular one for $49 (with 10% off on Fontspring). I just let the software bold/italicize even though it won't look as good as having the other two font types (i guess idk). I'll definitely keep an eye out for that sale to get the other 2 fonts types next year.

SHIT! I didn't know Blambot did black Friday! I'm gonna get all the rest of the sound effects fonts I want on that day then! lol

They(Comicraft) are about to have a 50% off sale for SDCC Online(San Diego); I would indulge, but A) I basically have a lot of everything and B) at this point I can wait until the next New Year's Font sale...

They also have 50% off fonts on My Fonts(https://www.myfonts.com/) from time to time...I picked up their Addams Family font there to use for Halloween some yrs back. Also, one of the lead designers- John Roshell, has been doing some font stuff on his own but those are expensive.

With the New Year's sale I go all out(I purposely save money for this day); this is my spoils from the sale this year:

I usually target A) world balloon/dialogue fonts that I like and are pricey and B) font sets that have like 5-7 variations that I can use.

With Blambot, I usually grab a font or 2 throughout the year and grab about 2 on his Black Friday sale. I'm pretty much at the same place with him as with Comicraft- I have about everything that I want...he has, lately, been making fonts that work well within the context for credits page design or that can fit nicely into a design campaign(if you build one around your comic).

Thank you so much, I'm really happy you like it!

[onyisart]

Blambot has been having a 30% off fonts!!
It began Nov 30 and ends Dec 7. https://blambot.com/

Of course, my ass is buying another font! And you should too! lol

I must be the weird one here - I just draw my words in on my tablet. (I kind of have to though since I'm also using a lot of my constructed language!)

[onyisart]

you can make a font with calligraphr that way you don't have to write them in.

[MeltingCORE]

Interesting, I'll have to check that out.

Edit: Oh yes, I like this very much!

I would love to get more fonts , but for some reason I’m not able to get them on Clip Studio on my iPad. Anyone know how I can?

[onyisart]

Well, you may have to look up how to install fonts onto your device. If you already have, contact Clip Studio Support to see if they can help you get them on their ios app.

I don't own an iPad so I don't know (and I only work from a PC).3
