While the tried and true Blambot Casual is a lovely font, I’m rather sick of looking at it after something like 1500 comics. I wanted something that had a little more personality and took up roughly the same amount of space. It also had to be lowercase, and had to have bold and italic typefaces. These are the three I’ve found that I like best (#1 is the original strip). Granted, they’re all VERY similar looking, but the slight differences really matter.

Also, I think I’ll try hand-drawing the word balloons from now on. This first attempt is a sloppy 30-second job but I like how it looks more “organic.”

  3. demongirl reblogged this from jephjacques and added:
    While I don’t think the font needs changing at all, if it has to be changed, #4 is the most legible of the different...

  17. sammythesunbeam reblogged this from jephjacques and added:
    the third just seems sorta italic-y to me.
  18. fullmoonovertampa reblogged this from jephjacques and added:
    I’d say 2 with 4 as...runner-up. 3 has readability issues.
  19. blindcrow reblogged this from jephjacques and added:
    #4 is you MUST change it. It’s close enough to the original and looks cleanest of the new ideas. :)
  20. randomampersand reblogged this from jephjacques and added:
    #2 and #4 myself. #3...kinda hard to read in
  21. meisterj reblogged this from jephjacques and added:
    seems to have some things at heart with font one,...like how close the letters are to one...
  22. inminorkeys reblogged this from jephjacques and added:
    I love the original font, but if you really wanna change it I’d say go with #4.
  23. dontwearpants reblogged this from jephjacques and added:
    I vote 4. 3 would get really annoying to look at after… now. Also, I really like the hand drawn bubbles.
  24. gooseberryfool reblogged this from jephjacques and added:
    I’m voting for 4. I think 3 is the nicest looking, but I think it would be more difficult to read.
