Typography Research

Comic book typography is always very illustrative.When there is sound effects, the artist tries to recreated that sound with the use of the typography. For example on the left we can see the words "Bleep Bloop Bleep" which is the sound of something very digital. The artist has not only used the words but made the typogaphy of the text very digital by making each letter exactly the same size which is very computer-like and adds to the over all effect of the words.

When it comes to text however, different artists use different fonts but they always use something very clear and bold to ensure that people can read the text. Even when illustrating their words, they always use something very bold and clear because they want the words to who what they are saying as it is purely pictures and text. The use of the speech bubbles is also very important in comics. They can show the different between someone whispering by using dotted lines and someone shouting by using jagged lines and large bold text. This effect works very well and gives a lot of atmosphere to the comic books.
