Typesetting Font Identification and Recommendations

Re: I'm looking for a font for the typesetting

Here's my opinion: Don't lean on Wild Words so much. Yeah, it's the easiest font to use, but still. Some diversity would be nice. More of Anime Ace, Web Letterer BB, Kid Kosmic, Digital Strip, and so on, as your main fonts instead of WW would be great. Always be open and visit font sites regularly.

Site # 1

Site #2

Two common sites worth checking out.

100% Agree. I don't use WildWords for anything -- it's a commercial font that is licensed out at something like $129 a copy... shouldn't take any additional unnecessary risks. AnimeAce 2.0 is my choice for most dialog.

Another good site is http://www.blambot.com.

I like One Stroke Script and Steel City Comic too.. I'm not sure if it is free font, in worst case I will upload it for you

Re: I'm looking for a font for the typesetting

it's maybe just me, but i keep coming to back to WW. i tried a lot of comic fonts, zap raygun, anime ace, the blambots, jack armstrong and others. but WW just "feels like a comic" most. i guess it's the "wild" feeling, especially bold-italicized. anime ace feels slow. jack armstrong is too slippery. the blambot fonts feels like cotton. zap is almost WW but not quite. im talking gibberish i know. here's the best comic font site:

Re: I'm looking for a font for the typesetting

Anime Ace is definitely hideous. Anime Ace, Letteromatic, Kid Kosmic. Three very ugly fonts I hate to see.

I like One Stroke Script and Steel City Comic too.. I'm not sure if it is free font, in worst case I will upload it for you

Steel City Comic is cool, One Stroke Script is a rich man's FlairSSK/Felt. Good if you can get it, though.

Looking for a couple of fonts..

Before you ask, yes, I've looked at about every font site.

The fonts I want are payfonts from blambot.com, but I'm not going to pay for text.



They are "Blambot Classic" and "San Diego `02 (or `05)"

I figure that since everyone on this forum is pretty much a pirate...one of you might have them, or at least know where to get them.


Help a fellow Manga Editor out?

Re: Looking for a couple of fonts..

What there are fonts that you gotta pay for? Well in that casue can you guys help me to. It wouldnt hurt if everyone gets some new fonts? Cmon help others out.

Re: Looking for a couple of fonts..

Are you sure? What about dafont.com? I'm sure there are more different types of fonts that you would like besides blambot.

I'm going to reply to that with a very subtle

Just so you know, the most commonly used font in Edited Mangas is a pay font (Wild Words). A lot of fonts are pay fonts.

Are you sure? What about dafont.com? I'm sure there are more different types of fonts that you would like besides blambot.

You know, reading helps. And even more than that, reading comprehension helps even more.

Oh well, time to get banned for bashing someone. I love the logic.

Re: Looking for a couple of fonts..

Have you looked on DC++ and searched for torrents?
All I could on DC was blambot casual and pro but someone on some comic hub might have it. I did however find a torrent with 10000 fonts (600 Mb). You could always check that out.

Re: Looking for a couple of fonts..

Does the torrent list the fonts that are in it? Also, a link would be helpful.

Re: Looking for a couple of fonts..

I only want the link if it has one of the two fonts I listed in my first post. Does it?

Re: Looking for a couple of fonts..

I have a question.
Is there a version of Wild Words with accents? Of course, free :P

Emery, I downloaded a torrents with 341 comic fonts. If you want I can give you the link for private.
