What fonts do you guys use? List them!

[SethJH]

I remember a thread around once that discussed fonts, but I don't know where it is anymore.

Anyways, here's my fonts:

Komika Text can be found royalty free on dafont.com, and a few of the other ones are on that site as well (Outlier, LT Oksana). The rest are either part of a collection of fonts I bought or found in other places on the internet.

I always choose free for commercial use fonts, for avoiding future problems.

In Kings of Fire I use "komika text" for common dialogues, "morris roman" for the titles and "parchment" for when some characters sing, this last one is a liottle bit hard to read but It's what I wanted, for giving more sensation of singing...

Actually with the Blambot fonts- the free fonts are for commercial use as well- provided you arent some super large company like Marvel or DC. Why do you think Marvel/DC farm out their most of their lettering gigs to freelancers again instead of still going through companies like Comicraft? Even when they use Nate Piekos(the owner of Blambot), his prices are a little more affordable than Comicraft. I like that Blambot has this policy, coz it allows the little guy trying to come up a chance to do work with some quality [free] fonts.

I just made a font with my own handwriting, since i didn't want to worry about making sure I chose a font that was okay for commercial use/didn't want to pay for one (although everyone's answers here have shown me that there are a lot more options of free/inexpensive fonts than I thought, which is awesome! I'll definitely look into some of those) I think using my own writing looks pretty cohesive paired with my art. So if you're at all interested in making your own font, I used this free website: http://www.myscriptfont.com/ I found it really easy to use and pretty happy with the results!
Here's my comic logo, which I made using a combination of my handwriting font and some vector lettering I did myself:

I guess creating your own fonts/lettering isn't for everyone but I personally have a lot of fun with that sort of thing!

[nelmathyria]

That's so nice that designer let you use his font for free! All of these fonts are really cool, and Honey Script sounds familiar, I think I may have used that one before.

[nelmathyria]

Ooh I really really like your logos!

[misterloki]

Thank you so much I appreciate it!

[misterloki]

Thank you I appreciate it!

@raelcsART I definitely suggest checking out blambot for comic dialogue fonts and those other sites I suggested for good fonts that can help you out with your logo design for your comic!

[timinabox24]

It wasn't that hard really O:
I fond a site, PaintFont.com I think it's called and it's really easy to make fonts there so I made a few simple fonts
and I think my own fonts fit in better with my comics and the style they're drawn in :'D

[shaylafarley5]

Wow so many, I only use times new roman, old English text, chiller, or just make up my own fonts

[BlackMantaStudios]

For my animesque webcomic, I use Action Man for the dialogue text, which I got for free on Dafont IIRC. Sometimes I use Komika Axis, and the built-in Tw Cen MT font for logos. If I want to be a bit more classical I opt for Garamond.

MangaMaster from Blambot

I use the awesome Samaritan International (also known as AstroCity), from ComiCraft for text dialogues. It's expensive as hell ($150.00), but like @Shanny8 said, there's these really good sales at the beggining of each year. They have a huge collection of professional dialogue fonts and they all look great, but I personally liked this one more.

I have some other fonts that I bought or downloaded for free, usually from ComiCraft and Blambot. I bought on ComiCraft sales the fonts Rassum Frassum and Onomatopedia, for example. I bought Silver Age from Blambot but I didn't like the kerning that much. All the other fonts I usually get for free from Blambot to use as SFX or at the title.

My biggest issue with fonts is how Clip Studio Paint is incapable of dealing with OpenType ligatures. Fonts have a very shoddy kerning on CSP and if you need to access the special Onomatopedia characters you're out of luck. Worse, it doesn't export text layers as text layers when you convert the work in PSD, which would allow me to fix everything reasonably fast on Adobe Photoshop.

[Doubtcent]

I'm pretty simple. I love Graphite Std Narrow.
I sometimes use Courier New or Chiller for certain character's dialogue, but graphite it my main option.

[Shanny8]

See, I havent tried lettering on CSP yet- I'm still using Illustrator to do my lettering.

Last year I was on this big kick with brush style fonts, and I bought Brushzerker & Beezlebrush from Blambot. my fave font from Blambot so far is Perehelion- it has a "sci-fi"-ish/computer screen log/records type feel to it. Susurrus is becoming another fave/go to font when I want to do display/design type stuff. I also like that you can get some nice quality stuff at Blambot without overspending...not to mention Blambot has their "Black Friday" sale at the end of November where they offer 30% off their pay fonts.

omg!!!! this is amazing actually! You're right it isnt hard with something like this ahhhh, thank you for the find! Dang! This makes it super easy! And I think I understand what your saying about fitting in XDDD

[timinabox24]

I know, it's an awesome site

[Shanny8]

Was playing around with a concept idea for a future series(I dont know, I'm still trying to decide if I want do it). Created a mock title and everything using my comic logo bar. Fonts used- Bodoni MT Black(comes with your computer), Mech Effects 2(from Blambot, free), top font is Susurrus(Blambot, paid for it), and the title font is Sabotaged(I bought it strictly for commercial use; a brush style font)
