FP - Font and Typography
Sunday, April 10, 2011
We tried a few fonts on a word editor (MS Word), but it was hard for us to see if a font would suit our comic when it was actually used. So we tried it out on one of our completed panels to see how it would look like in the actual comic. 
Adventure: Tthe kerning is too far apart, which will end up taking a lot of space for speech bubbles. This in turn will minimise the visible area of the comic panels and it is not what we want.
Badaboom: On the contrary, Badaboom has close kerning and suits our comic. Since it is bold and striking, it will be used for the cover page.
Deeko Comic: The font here looks like it is being stretched and does not appeal to us.
Laffayette Comic Pro: We chose this font as our primary font for the comic as it is the most readable compared to the rest. Also, the style of the font is fitting and matches our comic targeted at youths.
SF Comic Script: It is highly readable but the leading is wide and takes up too much space for speech bubbles.posted at
