You’ll recognize the name. You’ll recognize a lot of the names in the Comicraft catalog. Many major artists have had custom fonts created for them, based on their own lettering or a style they wanted for a specific project.

“Brian Talbot” was one of my best purchases last year. I’m using it more and more; it’s even starting to edge out “Hedge” as a presentation font.

The package comes with both normal and “all uppercase” editions. Why an all-uppercase font? Because the it lets you have two slightly different versions of the same character. If you need to set a word like “Coffee” you can make the repeating letters look like they were hand-lettered, as you can see to the right.
