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..."

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".

My third font for the @cartoonist.coop Letterer Challenge 2026! This one's prompt was "Sci-fi"! It's very alien! You can download it here: chaseburns.itch.io/turing-pest-... #font #openfontlicense #lettererchallenge2026

An image displaying "Turing Pest", a nigh-unreadable font that resembles a Turing pattern.

There's a speech balloon reading "You’ll never be able to break through my alien technology firewall!" and a response that reads "Uhhh... can you repeat that?"

Made for the Cartoonists United Letterer Challenge 2026

Another image displaying "Turing Pest", a nigh-unreadable font that resembles a Turing pattern. This one has a lot of unreadable text, which reads:

"The Turing pattern is a concept introduced by English mathematician Alan Turing in a 1952 paper titled "The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis", which describes how patterns in nature, such as stripes and spots, can arise naturally and autonomously from a homogeneous, uniform state. The pattern arises due to Turing instability, which in turn arises due to the interplay between differential diffusion of chemical species and chemical reaction. The instability mechanism is surprising because a pure diffusion, such as molecular diffusion, would be expected to have a stabilizing influence on the system (i.e., complete mixing)."

- “Turing pattern” per Wikipedia

Another image displaying "Turing Pest", a nigh-unreadable font that resembles a Turing pattern.

There's doubled-up text in different styles that reads "Besides the regular style, there’s the more easily readable 'Halfways' style" / "And both of those styles have an 'Empty' version, which only has outlined shapes."

In a very unreadable style, there's a line of text that reads "It’s not very easy to read!!"

Another image displaying "Turing Pest", a nigh-unreadable font that resembles a Turing pattern. This one lists the four styles: Regular, Halfways, Empty, and Halfways Empty. It also displays all of the glyphs included in the font

My second font for the @cartoonist.coop Letterer Challenge 2026! This time the prompt was "Fantasy"! You can download it here: chaseburns.itch.io/thauma-heisler #font #openfontlicense #lettererchallenge2026

an image displaying "Thauma Heisler", an obscure magical text comic font.

a sign set in the font reads "Abandon all hope ye who enter here," alongside speech balloons that read "That sign’s been there for quite a while," and "Isn’t it about time we got it replaced?"

Made for the Cartoonists United Letterer Challenge 2026

another image displaying "Thauma Heisler", an obscure magical text comic font.

speech balloons read "Speak my name! Shazam!!", "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!", and "Let me clarify this. Taro, Caro, Salomon!"

Lowercase vowels are underlined.

a rotated caption box reads "Maybe rotate it to disguise the latin alphabet even more!"

You can type in all caps to get rid of the underline effect.

Double curly brackets {{ }} make breath marks with opentype ligatures, demonstrated by a speech balloon reading "Alakaza--(gasp) You interrupted my spell!"

My fifth and final font for the @cartoonist.coop Letterer Challenge 2026! The prompt was "Font Selfie", so I made a font influenced by my own handwriting! You can download it here: chaseburns.itch.io/cb-compositi... #font #openfontlicense #lettererchallenge2026

an image displaying "CB Composition", a handwritten comic book font.

there's a speech balloon that reads "For this font, I took a page out of my own book… literally! Which is to say… the shapes are influenced by the quick notes I took in school!!"

another image displaying "CB Composition", a handwritten comic font.

There's a speech balloon reading "technically most comic book style fonts are handwritten, but what I mean is this is pretty sloppy."

OpenType ligatures make side-by-side duplicate letters different, for a more handwritten feel.

Some letters even have triplicate versions!

There's another speech balloon reading "Wheee!!! Ooooohhh?? Aaaaiiiiiieeee!!"

And for the discerning individual, alternate characters can also be picked by hand! Even the periods!!

There's a speech balloon that reads "and then I was all like, 'blah blah blah'.....", with highlighted letters, discerning which ones are alternate letters.

another balloon reads "don’t you (sob) love me anymore~~?"

breath marks and a shaky line that’s more wiggly than the em-dash (—) can be typed with {{ }} and ~~ respectively.

the font is pretty versatile!

there is an evil-looking balloon, with white text on black background, reading "come on and follow me into the darkness...", and a balloon that resembles a fishbowl full of water, reading "what? can’t you breathe underwater?"

The illustration is mostly black and ivory in a sketchy fountain pen style. On a page of sheet music, an inkwell with a coy, mysterious smile draws musical bars using a singing five-pronged pen nib. Text below reads: “Listen to a music album start to finish, draw what you hear”. Music notes stylized to look like eyes, time signatures and squiggles of ink decorate the page.

I finished the illustrations for @nkjemisin.bsky.social 's "The World We Make" special edition from Subterranean Press a while back but it's finally out! One of my favorite interior illustrations:

Digital illustration, an overhead shot of a man with short curly black hair in a white button up, holding a knife, standing next to a man in a vest and a knit skull cap and white beard holding an anchovy. All around them cats and seagulls are swarming. Across from them, through cracked cement, at the top of the illustration, several eerie cats and birds with tentacles growing from their bodies and glowing white eyes stare back at the men.
