Fonts for Comic Creators

[Llyrel]

Yaaaass! Will have to check it out I recently got one of their fonts (Meanwhile) through Adobe Fonts, but it irks me that I can't use it in CSP -which is where I do most of my lettering- so I was thinking about purchasing the font for easier use. Btw... is this the site? 'Cos when I searched on Google I found this as my first result, but there's also a "Comicraft" site which doesn't appear to have secure connection and now I'm a little confused D:

I love ACME Secret Agent for accentuated conversation, droll, sarcastic, tannoy, etc and Back Issues BB by blambot is my go to for regular dialogue.

BTW, I am not affiliated to those links, I just googled the font names.

[Shanny8]

Yes that is the site.

The sale will probably actually start on New Year's Eve if past serves me correct. I use Meanwhile as my default dialogue font for my webcomic...it's getting harder each year, coz I've bought SO MANY of their fonts over the years; I got at least 2 definite that I'm going to get- and they just came out with a new one that looks pretty cool.

3 days from the sale...getting a little impatient- just ready to buy my fonts and get it out of the way, but then also since I've bought up a lot of the stuff that I really wanted I feel like there isnt much left for me to purchase.

Maybe the good part will be I can finally stop buying fonts..?

Hahahahaha(yeah, right...)

I was having one heck of a time with finding a fitting font that was royalty free when I first started making my comic so I made my own too.

[Lady_T_Musings]

I used calligraphr online and affinity designer to make my own font after struggling with trying to find one that was royalty free and that felt just right for my comic. There is no lower case for this font, so instead I made a variant that’s more rounded for the lower case and the uppercase is more angular. I only switch fo indicate something magical is afoot though.

For sound effects and being extra I draw what’s needed out or type it up and then warp it in Affinity.

Nice to see so many fonts though and places to get them though! It’s really cool to see how folks integrate typeface into their comic layouts.

The Comicraft sale starts this evening...I've got my pennies ready!

[Sethstiel]

For me, it was a CHAOS at first cause I had to.. well still have to use couple of fonts in 1 comic but I also gotta memorize the color pattern for different occasions..
Anyways, I can make my list here
I use InShot for the typing, stickers, effects etc. for evrything basically besides the drawing part tbh
And I use fonts that I CANT EVEN PRONOUNCE

First, the Narrator: LeagueGothic

.

Sfx: Gloria Hallelujah

.

Characters in Real World: Anime Ace 3BB

.

Characters in Online World:

NanigoSquare-Regular

.

Online World "System" Font:

Oh and for character names and Levels: Pixelmix

I might have more that I cannot think of rn

[lynestjules]

I know the feeling. Creating my own lifted all the stress I had to find a fitting font. Just like you, the sfx, I also create my own and then warp the crap out of it.

[Shanny8]

Bought my fonts from the Comicraft sale(ends either tomorrow night or early Wednesday morn); got some reward points that I can use towards the purchase of another font- I know which one I want, but I'll wait til tomorrow to get it.

Yasss flocking together on that haha! I went through so many, but at the end of the day making my own worked best for me.
