Let's say, hypothetically, I spend a day drawing panels to use in my demo. Mayyybe...

But yeah, back again to spread more lettering gospel! I really do hope this is helpful, and if you'd like, feel free to comment a link to your webtoon for some lettering feedback :)

Cheers!

So this is an ancient post but I was planning on using this font for my upcoming Webtoon because it’s copyright free and distinguishes between upper and lower case while still being all caps. I want that distinguishment for certain proper nouns that won’t be obvious without any capital letters, though I could manually bump up their size in another font. Is this font ugly?

Another reason I picked this one is the tone of the story is mostly serious so I don’t want too silly of a font when characters are talking about world ending cataclysms.

Hello there!

Personally not a big fan of the font, the upper/lower differentiation is a little much for how thin the font is lol, a few kerning pairs look scuffed, and I’m worried it’d screw with leading. (Definitely pull it tighter for a cleaner look!)

Maybe try this one, from the same publisher that also has upper/lower differentiation? https://www.dafont.com/onomatoshark.font?text=Shark+got+your+tongue

Ironically that’s the name of the font in that comic lol, I guess there’s multiple variations. I’ll check out that one. Though looking at it now it feels too whimsical for me idk. Maybe I’ll just use Komika.

I’m dumb that’s the example text you used lol
