The Manga Letters – Search and Destroy by Atsushi Kaneko
American Manga Awards nominee Phil Christie’s work on Search and Destroy is a master class in manga lettering.
Introducing my new comic book font, Pancake Pen 🥞
It's mixed-case, super soft, extra fluffy, and comes with a wide range of glyphs. It's hand-drawn with a felt-tip pen and hand-traced, and it's optimized for tight stacks of small text.

i made a comic book font. it was going to be a vector font, but fontforge is so confusing :|
I added a new section to my manga #lettering tutorials on how to use the Find/Replace feature in InDesign, which is super powerful. I also included the regular expressions I've used in the past to do some heavy lifting 💪😤
You can find this new section, as well as all my other advice on text formatting, over here: https://github.com/saraoswald/lettering-tutorials/wiki/Text-Placement-and-Balancing#replacing-text
Introducing Stabby -- my newest comic book font, designed specifically for sound effects 🗡️
This font is inspired by countless manga SFX I drew by hand, and it's exactly the kind of thing I would've used while lettering
There are six weights, and, as always, it's free!

I put all my fonts up on my GitHub! They’ve been free on ko-fi for a while now, so I thought I’d put them in another place ✌️
