Handmade
Since 2002, Blambot (creator of “comic fonts and lettering”) has been creating limited edition typefaces for the San Diego Comic-Con International. This year’s San Diego 2007 is a chunky departure from the previous years.
There has been a lot of discussion regarding the effect of using digital lettering in comics as opposed to hand lettering. Comic artist Jon Morris created this interesting two-part comic (part one, part two) about the topic that sums up a pretty strong argument of why digital lettering does not always work in a hand-drawn context.
I think this applies to design as well. It illustrates the importance of stepping away from your computer and working with your hands every now and then. Especially when creating something that is meant to have that handmade look.
