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!

Was God an Ancient Astronaut? Are crop circles signposts for UFOs? Are we or are we not alone? Do you Want To Believe?

We have No Idea.

Nevertheless, we’ve put together a rather attractive little typeface—by the name of Aztech—which will undoubtedly add fuel to speculation vis-a-vis the existence (or non-existence) of Extra Terrestrial Intelligence. Yes, in our ongoing quest to spread enlightenment and dispel anxiety throughout the universe, we’ve created a font which will allow you to enjoy the concept of Alien Intervention without the embarrassment and discomfort of anal probing. Tell your friends.

Homespun by Homely Nina Green (nee Nina Sutcliffe), over 18 years ago for her old college pal, Mister Comicraft (ne Richard Starkings), CHEEKY MONKEY is a chirpy and cheerful character set which has found its way over the years onto the title pages of comic books as disparate as Captain Britain, Doctor Who and Darkman. We’ve kept it to ourselves all this time because we thought it was just too precocious for mass consumption and way too impudent for its own good. Don’t turn your back on this font, baby, or it might pinch your bum!

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.

Minimum Waste - the name is taken from a Sade song, but is meant more as a political statement. Please be aware about your everyday use to make sure the planet survives!

Don’t say it! Is this THE END of THE STORY SO FAR?! Is there REALLY an END to ANY story, or just a place where it STOPS? We started near the beginning of the end, and now we are near the end of the beginning, so far away and yet so close… but Ends are not bad things and many ends aren’t really an ending, especially when you are merely near the end of a never ending story. Are you anywhere near with us so far?
