You mean for text bubbles or separate panels that just contain text as to move the plot forward?
For text bubbles, try and keep to 6 point fonts or bigger for readability, that would count for any kind of comic font, a more rigid font, or of course hand-lettering.
For panels only containing text... It's a bit of an older way to tell stories, and some more classic Franco-Belgian comics still use them, but for the most part you want to show as much and talk as little as possible.
Hope this helps you a bit, but please ask more if you want to know more! ^^
That is helpful thanks. Actually I'm surprised how small that sounds (but I'm from the UK, so maybe a regional thing?)
I personally find point size to be all over the place depending on font and other factors. For the last comic I had printed I just made sure to do several physical printouts of my lettering early on and check the readability and adjust before lettering the whole issue.
Yeah, sounds like trial and error everywhere I ask / search. Feedback is always appreciated though
It really depends, I'm from the Netherlands myself and with comics there isn't really a 'right' way to do it. If your font is readable as you make it and it doesn't interfere with the art, you should be just fine ^^
I appreciate your time and advice, its given me a lot to consider and more motivation to just "get on with things" 👍
