This installment tests a font called Marydale. But I think I will go back and handletter it.

Ugh.
I don't like the font or the speech bubbles.
I totally love your hand lettering as well, but I can see where it's pretty time consuming. Are you using layers for them? I wonder if you could draw up a "standard" set of word balloons and then drop them in.

Hmm. I like Amy's idea for the balloons. I understand how the lettering eats up time and effort--but this font just doesn't look that good. :(

I guess I just like it because it "Klio" looks very cool in it.
But I'm going to go back to handlettering for now, and experiment on the side with pre-made word balloons. Thanks for feedback :)
