Do we have a volunteer from the audience! Yes, you young lady, step into the ring, there’s no need to be afraid! What’s your name? Hypnotique? How appropriate! Now, don’t turn away, look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don’t look around my eyes, look into my eyes, aaaannnndd you’re under.

And on the menu of mesmerism tonight is a waking dream of letterforms that will keep you on the threshold of consciousness and yet illuminate your every hypnagogic hallucination! Now that we have your focused attention and reduced your peripheral awareness you now have an enhanced capacity for response to the suggestion that you should not only purchase this font, but our entire library of fonts. On the count of three you will wake up and you will think of nothing else but acquiring all the tools all good graphic designers should have in their font library.

And all we had to do was snap our fingers.

Boy, they’re everywhere. One of your neighbors is probably one of them, Freaking super-heroes (TM, ©, ®, SM blah blah blah) are more ubiquitous in cities these days than Simon Cowell is on talent shows. Notice how that guy on the subway—the one with the boy scout haircut?—see how he keeps his shirt buttoned all the way up? He’s not sweating either… that’s ’cause he’s probably from some dead planet that exploded twenty years ago. His REAL parents wrapped him in blankets and, when he turned 18, his Ma on Earth turned those same blankets into Long Underwear for her foster son. He’s probably wearing his long underwear right now. That’s why he’s smiling at you through his horn rimmed glasses. He thinks you don’t know. Thinks he’s special. Thinks he’s a super-hero (TM, ©, ®, SM blah blah blah). Ain’t that Super?

It is NOT the END, my friend. Beyond the Saga, beyond the Hype, Beyond the expectations of marketing executives and studio shareholders lie prequels AND sequels. It has been said that every journey has a first step as THE STORY BEGINS, and every Generation has a Legend, a Story, a Franchise and an inevitable descent into mindless exploitation where THE STORY ENDS. It’s true, all of it!

Chunky Nouveau JNL was inspired by a circa-1928 water applied decal for the Top Most Insulated Jug.
The plump, rounded hand lettering of the brand name was given a slightly thicker treatment to create a more poster-oriented display design.

Chunky Nouveau JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.

There are worms in the earth, hairy bugs under the bed and strange bloodshot eyeballs peering at you from out of the closet. Lilou’s Creepy Crawly font is perfect for scaring away Trick-or-Treaters, just install our font and print out your signs with the legend: WE EAT LITTLE CHILDREN HERE!

After eleven years and millions of character combinations, scientists at the Comicraft Alphabet Genome research facility in the Mojave Desert, under the direction of the genetartist known only as ’Ladronn,’ have finally determined the DNA sequence responsible for ensuring a good eye for design. DESIGNERGENES has been modified by our genetic engineers to guarantee high performance display lettering every time. Thanks to the selfless sacrifice of Comicraft volunteers, various mutations of this font have been thoroughly tested in the pages of UNCANNY X-MEN, NEW X-MEN and HIP FLASK: UNNATURAL SELECTION and can now be introduced to human society at large.

Someday, a long time from now, in a galaxy not so very far away, you’ll find yourself Suddenly transported to the nether- realms of Elsewhere, bathed in the light of the mystic moons of Meanwhile… While you’re waiting for that day, check out this font by John “JG” Roshell. It may not provide you with the same transcendental experience, but JG assures us that it really is the next best thing.

You’ve been shot down over enemy territory and you’ve managed to survive for weeks thanks to your training and instincts*... but now you’re being ruthlessly pursued by MAPPO’s footsoldiers… The ELEPHANTMEN! Will your commanding officer go against orders in an attempt to rescue you or will his mission be abruptly aborted, stranding you behind ENEMY LINES? In order to survive, you may have to betray your own rebel forces, your allies and the entire free world!

The future of mankind hangs in the balance! Failure is not an option! Bummer.

*This font’s modus operandi bears no relation to the story of any other font that may have been shot down behind enemy lines, real or imagined.

A gruesome operatic drama is about to unfold, a tragic performance of the macabre! We offer for your entertainment a series of unfortunate events full of shocks and lugubrious revelations which will chill you to the bone! We also offer you this font, which may have similar effects, including nausea, migraine, heart palpitations and stomach upset. Pretty, though, isn’t it?
