Description
You may not know it, but if you've read Comics before you definitely know this font. CC Wildwords is easily one of the most often used fonts in comic lettering today. You can find it everywhere: from original works to official translations and online scanlations. Comics, Manga, bande dessinée, you name it.
The font, which was originally conceived in 1995 by John Roshell for Jim Lee's WildStorm comics, has nowadays become the default lettering font for many publishers.
To investigate the background of Wildwords' success and take a close look at Comic Lettering in general, my brother and I wrote a font analysis of Wildwords as part of our typography class.
To introduce the different chapters of our book, I created various mini-comics, as a way to tease the following chapter’s contents.
