Which font do you use?

[BarBarKetrab]

I'm curious, which font do you use when lettering your comics? There are just so many to choose from......

I think my personal favourite out of the ones I have looked at so far would be marker felt.

You should try "Komika Sleek", looks good and helps readabilty

Anime Ace by Blambot for Tapas/ComicFury. It's nice, it's free and it can be used for both webcomics and print as long as you're an indie creator. Win-win

For the Webtoon version, I use Meanwhile by Comicraft. The default license is... pretty damn expensive ($139 and up to $695! ò__ò), but I got it for free thanks to Adobe Fonts and I know that the site offers some HUGE discounts from time to time (on January 1st, they put it up for sale for only $20.21), so even if you don't have Adobe Fonts and don't want to spend hundreds of dollars for the font, there's still a chance to get Comicraft fonts for a good price

I definitely recommend checking Blambot's free fonts, btw! Even if you don't like Anime Ace, there's a bunch of others available, so definitely worth a check Also, be careful with DaFont stuff: their fonts can be downloaded for free, but more often than not it's just "demo" fonts that actually require a license if you plan to gain any money out of your comic.

I decided to go for not all uppercase for my speech bubbles. Also, wanted something that I hadn't seen anyone else use.

I use from Caroni and Thirsty Script from FontSquirrel.com, they have a lot of great free fonts.

I do a traditional comic, is it bad to just write out your dialogue by hand? I try to make it neat, and I feel like a computer font doesn't match the style... But it might be less clear?

[BarBarKetrab]

Actually, I am working on two series, one is drawn entirely traditionally and the other is entirely digital. The lettering in the traditional one is done by hand as well.
I didn't start trying to get better at digital art until around halfway through last year, so I guess you could say that I'm experimenting.

I have to say though, sometimes when I am writing the dialogue traditionally, my hand just will not stop shaking! Not that that's bad of course, overcoming a challenge always feels rewarding.

I’ve been handlettering for years!!! I think its one of the things i’m pretty good at. (I hope)

[BarBarKetrab]

Do you use dip pens or other tools? I'm stuck with fineliners until I can get better at using those nibs.

[arxianfall]

"Action Man" for me and "Junkdog" for information pages.

[Tromroan]

I've actually really gotten into like, lining my drawings with a thin brush and india ink, but for dialogue I still go the fine-liner route! I know I can write more reliably with them - even if it's not quite as... atmospheric of a look. I guess with nibs you'd get a nice calligraphy effect!

[Caro]

I use fineliners for my lettering because I’m not a very big fan of any thick-to-thin line variation in my lettering so I try to get the deadest line possible for ULTIMATE clarity.

Even way back when I used to ink my comics with nibs and brushes I would still use fineliners for lettering

[surenlicious]

I use Toontime now! Arch Rival was my previous one, but Toontime suits my art style better.

[IndigoShirtProd]

I use "Ames" for all my speech bubbles and a slew of other fonts for sfx, including "Danger Diabolik" and "Yellow Jacket." My favorite font is "Digital Strip" though I don't use it in my comic.

[skippyjoeskilling]

I really love hand lettering, but a few years ago I made a font of my own handwriting and that's the main thing I use. No copyright worries, makes the font unique, and keeps the sizing and stuff consistent. I have to remind myself not to use it in my school papers lol. But I still hand letter sometimes.

[kaetana]

I use a custom font made with my own handwriting on Calligraphr for most dialogue, as well as Belizarius for my title font and certain appropriate dialogue. I tried looking into other fonts to use as my default font but I've really been happiest using my own handwriting, it just meshes well with my art.

I´m using back issues from blambot and badaboom from blambot.
I will change to a different one for sound effects though for my next comic
I used to handletter my comics and I can also only write in comic lettering because
I´m doing this since I was 8 instead of using normal handwriting

[rajillustration]

Action man for most of my font and A.C.M.E Secret Agent as an emphasis font.

[SynergyEclipse]

Indie Komiks Sketch for most of the text, Damn Noisy Kids for louder and more hot-blooded dialogue, and Fighting Spirit for the loudest or angriest lines. I use Visitor BRK for robotic characters, and Kingthings Pique’n’meex in some magical incantations and effects.

[darthmongoose]

For Errant I use Blambot Casual, which comes free with an Adobe subscription. I wanted to use "Marvel Style" lettering with both caps and lowercase, and I felt like that was the font with both that fit my artstyle best.
I use a variety of Blambot fonts for sound effects when I don't hand write them.

[nathanKmcwilliams]

For Dragon Sparking I'm using Kid Kosmic from Blambot for regular dialogue. Always Angry or Death Rattle from Blambot for shouting and anger.
I use several other fonts as well for descriptions or technology readouts.
