Fonts!

Some of us font geeks have known about Comicraft’s Comic Book Fonts site for a while now, but I only found out today that every year, from midnight-to-midnight, for the 24 hours between December 31st to January 1st, DBF.com holds a huge store-wide sale where all their fonts are sold for the exact same price. What’s that price? Well, on Jan. 1st 2008, fonts will sell for $20.08 each. In 2009, it’ll be $20.09, etc… And as I understand it, this applies every single font in the store, even their big-ticket items.

I know, this is a total tease. I mean, it’s more than seven months away! Well, just set your calendar now, and start bookmarking the ones you like in advance. That’s what my mom would tell me.

  • A few years ago, I got some of these fonts just for my own personal use, and one of them was a $199 font I could never afford otherwise. So yeah, it does include everything -- or it always did before. My biggest fear is that they will discontinue this insanely great sale if too many people find out about it. Nobody else nails the look of fonts that you'd actually see in hand-lettered comics quite like these guys. You can also find some good stuff at Blambot.com, but outside of those two sources the pickings are pretty slim.
  • Agreed, blambots the place to go. I did a bit of a stint of trying to alert all my comic friends each month to new fonts and news on typography but it got really repetitive after about 4 months.

    But thanks for this, I honestly had no idea they did this.
