Comic Books: Speech Balloons
Fonts that emulate the lettering that fills the balloons of comic books and comic strips. Most are by the comic lettering masters at Comicraft who skillfully digitize the pens of John JG Roshell, Richard Starkings, J. Scott Campbell, and Dave Gibbons.
The fonts at the top of the page include upper- and lowercase characters. Those further down are uppercase only, but many of them offer alternate glyphs for every character to simulate the natural variation of hand lettering.
Some of these families also include italics and heavier weights. Click any font sample to see all the variants.

Roman Sehrer, a seasoned German advertising professional, has digitized his handwriting to create a family of three fonts to meet your free-feeling and laid back design needs. Sehrer recommends that you try this family out on posters, logos, and restaurant menus, where in each case it will offer a great combination and contrast to traditional sans serifs like Helveticaor like Univers.
Providence was first drawn in 1987 to set lines in a comic book series – FF Providence Sans for the dialog, and its serif companion for running narrative. In 1994 the typefaces were revisited, adding weights and a set of dingbats, and named after the designer’s home town in Rhode Island, USA.
