Self-Publishing - Lettering - Research

 I reached out to the comics community via twitter to ask for advice on lettering, specifically why a lot of comics are in capitals and for examples of any that where not in capitals, so I can analyse what would work best for my work, I want a balance between handwritten and professional.

Some observations:

  • The fonts seem to be quite thin
  • Lower case lettering varies in high often, meaning the line spacing needs to be larger.
  • Most speech-bubbles seem to be centrally aligned
