COOL BEANS… Can you dig it, man? Comicraft’s Jazzy “JG” Roshell, just swung by after playing bongos down at the coffee bar in his black turtleneck sweater, stove-pipe trousers, dark glasses and beret. Check out the rad Tiki corners on our freshest font, COOL BEANS and you’ll want to snap your fingers, put on some Miles Davis and take the next train out of Squaresville, um, Daddio.

At Comicraft we’re always looking for new ways to help our loyal customers get more bang for their buck. There are times when when the big financial instituitons turn their backs on the average working Joe, but that’s why we want to help you restructure your finances, renogotiate your commitment to font purchases… We’re here to help you stretch your dollars a little further.

With that in mind, our latest release is twice as wide as our usual fare and will help you make it to the end of the month in ways other fonts won’t! It’s not so much a bailout or a refi… It’s more of a credit extension. I wonder what we should call it?

Inspired by a retro Art Deco poster as well as many of the true classic Art Deco type designs of the 1930s and 1940s, Deco Revisited JNL is a bold, black, stencil-influenced design with no counters.

Although being a contemporary design, its use in any retro project will truly evoke a feeling for the “streamline” era.

Deco Revisited JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.

The Vampires have risen from their graves! Innocent young virgins (also goats, sheep, sheep dogs, cows and other sundry farmyard animals) may not see out the night!

We waited to unleash our latest release until the midnight hour, so grab your wooden stakes, silver bullets, crossbows, slingshots and any supernatural weaponry you may have at hand. Garlic capsules and Holy Bibles are also recommended!

DUSKTILLDAWN has been exhumed, lightly dusted in dry earth and exsanguinated for your convenience. Bury your tombstones in Gothic Chic with a font that may very well be worth dying for. We cannot guarantee you will come back to life however.

Do we have a volunteer from the audience! Yes, you young lady, step into the ring, there’s no need to be afraid! What’s your name? Hypnotique? How appropriate! Now, don’t turn away, look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don’t look around my eyes, look into my eyes, aaaannnndd you’re under.

And on the menu of mesmerism tonight is a waking dream of letterforms that will keep you on the threshold of consciousness and yet illuminate your every hypnagogic hallucination! Now that we have your focused attention and reduced your peripheral awareness you now have an enhanced capacity for response to the suggestion that you should not only purchase this font, but our entire library of fonts. On the count of three you will wake up and you will think of nothing else but acquiring all the tools all good graphic designers should have in their font library.

And all we had to do was snap our fingers.

Boy, they’re everywhere. One of your neighbors is probably one of them, Freaking super-heroes (TM, ©, ®, SM blah blah blah) are more ubiquitous in cities these days than Simon Cowell is on talent shows. Notice how that guy on the subway—the one with the boy scout haircut?—see how he keeps his shirt buttoned all the way up? He’s not sweating either… that’s ’cause he’s probably from some dead planet that exploded twenty years ago. His REAL parents wrapped him in blankets and, when he turned 18, his Ma on Earth turned those same blankets into Long Underwear for her foster son. He’s probably wearing his long underwear right now. That’s why he’s smiling at you through his horn rimmed glasses. He thinks you don’t know. Thinks he’s special. Thinks he’s a super-hero (TM, ©, ®, SM blah blah blah). Ain’t that Super?

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.
