Just a quick reminder that the Comicraft annual New Year sale is on. All fonts are $20.17 for the rest of today, and the sale closes when whichever timezone is the last one to do so ticks over to Jan 2nd. Get your lettering fonty goodness here.

Thanks. Good tip.

On the rare occasion I require such fonts I end up butchering freebie typefaces in Illustrator and it's about time I stopped committing such crimes* against typography.

*By butcher fonts I mean force italicising and condensing. I'm not proud of that.
