Font comparison

[sigune]

Okay. So, the most commonly-heard 'complaint', if you can call it that, about my digital lettering experiment is that the font is an ordinary one. I have to confess that I like it myself because it reminds me of Jeff Smith's lettering in Bone, one of my favourite fonts in my entire comics library :). I also like it because it is not even close to Comic Sans ;).

Anyway - on my Blogspot a friend suggested that I try Ale & Wenches, a very pretty, medieval-like font. I'm posting the page with Ale & Wenches next to the previous version. My own inclination would be to use this font for captions and stick to Red State, Blue State for the speech bubbles. Oh, and any dragons can of course speak in Dragon Bones ;).

Please let me know what you think!

I like both, to be honest, and can't really decide... dragonbones for the dragons would be extremely cool, though. I don't know how good the emphasis is visible with ale&wenches, though; at least the italic looks a bit weird.

I was also confused by the exclamation mark, at first.

No. Pretty, but not ideal.

I have to confess that so far I haven't got any dragons coming up. But it's good to know that if one presents itself, I'll be bale to give it a decent font ;-).

Oh, pity! I thought from your comment that you had planned dragon. I got even more dragon-addicted lately since "How to tame your dragon" *g*.

I haven't seen it yet, but I'd love to do so :).

What can I say? Gawain is more the type who meets lost of women, not dragons... :P
