My fourth font for the @cartoonist.coop Letterer Challenge 2026! This prompt was "Horror", as if that wasn't obvious! It has lots of alternate characters! You can download it here: chaseburns.itch.io/scrawling-da... #font #openfontlicense #lettererchallenge2026

there's a speech balloon that reads "Wanna hear how long I can scream? Aaaaaiiiiiiiieeeeeeee!!! Hold on, let me try that again..."

Made for the Cartoonists United Letterer Challenge 2026

Uses opentype ligatures to switch up side-by-side duplicate characters. Vowels have 4 alternates! Alts can also be picked manually, for variety.

Displaying this feature is a speech balloon that reads "Thiiisss iiisss hooow slowwlllyy I caaaaan taaallkk" and 4 "urgh!"s with different alternate letters.

Good for sound effects (Maybe even better than for dialogue…). Demonstrating this are stylized sound effects that reads "Splat", "Aaaiiieeee!!!", and "drip drip".

The Delinquent and the Transfer Student volume 2 is out now! I adore this series, and lettering it was a huge challenge. I'm incredibly proud of the results, and wake to display some comparisons of the Japanese and English lettering. Here are some, with more in the thread below!

All sfx (and few dialogue instances) were all hand-drawn I’m quite proud of how they all turned out!

Some lettering from D.Gray-man 29. I don’t normally work on the series, so it was a nice surprise being asked to pinch-hit for this one ☺️

This industry, these awards, these conventions would not exist without the underpaid freelancers working 80-hour weeks, and I have deep respect for Jan using her moment in the spotlight to call out the poor working conditions that her and her colleagues are subjected to

i just don’t understand why it’s so hard to just accept that both usa and russia/ussr are/were evil af

the way some people can see it in their own country clearly but once it’s about russia they fall into complete russian state powered propaganda is so interesting

americans will look at russia stretching from baltic sea to pacific ocean and say ’yeah all these peoples definitely joined by their own volition and it’s definitely not colonization’

I haven't seen this one! But I really like "The Wishing Tree", it's kind of similair to Satantango in thematics but more dynamic, really recommend!
