How to use it
- 1Use a clean font like Comic Neue or Patrick Hand for speech bubbles and a heavier one like Bangers for titles and sound effects.
- 2Comic lettering is traditionally set in capitals, and many comic fonts are designed to look best that way.
- 3Keep speech bubbles short and leave space around the text so it doesn't touch the edge of the bubble.
- 4For children's material, choose a font with simple letters that are hard to confuse.
Type a line of dialogue or a title and compare them. They are great for comics and webtoons, children's materials, game interfaces, memes, party invitations and casual social posts.
