My favorite comic-style fonts, all on sale

01.01.2010

Letterbot (along with Hedge and Cheese) has proven to be one of the true iron horses of my Comicraft collection. It’s especially useful as titles and subtitles in online videos. It has a certain amount of style about it it’s so blocky and dense that even the worst video compression can’t make it unreadable.

Another “I bet I’ll almost never use this” font, that I just keep using over and over again. I soon adapted my standard Keynote presentation template to use Spills as the title card…the thing people see as they enter and take their seats. It has a flashy “Title card of a 1940’s thriller” look about it.

This is a very tidy little package. You get a thick, shouty, blocky, vintagey title face that’s perfect for signs and other things that need to attract immediate attention. And you also get the quirky edition with the speed lines. You sure won’t get a hell of a lot of use from it but the one time you need to produce a sign for your kid’s Pinewood Derby event…bingo.
