FREE Font

As a writer and publisher of my own comics, I find the lettering just as an important a part of the art as the pencils and the inks. As the wise and terrible Minister of Propaganda for Comix Experience in San Francisco, I've seen a lot of comics with great art crapped up by bad lettering. I'm so passionate about good lettering being available to the masses, I've designed a font you can use for your own comic stories.

This font is based on the letterforms of John Heebink, artist on "The Bod" for Double Image. It's featured in the word balloons of Jen van Meter and Christine Norrie's Hopeless Savages, coming this August from Oni Press.

It's got an upper- and lower-case character set and simple punctuation. For numbers and other stuff, you're on your own. All I ask is that if you use it, give me a nod in your credit box or on your letters pages. Tell me what you think.
