(The title of this post is a joke, but I did upload the new version, get annoyed at the thickness of the speech bubble lines, fixed them and then re-uploaded)
And is more readable at smaller sizes:
I am terrible at fonts. I know this because people who are good at fonts have told me this a lot. But I am going to try to not care. This font may look like distillation of 2015-era Instagram, but it's very readable even at small sizes and it's not comic sans. I just pulled this comic up on my phone and it's still readable. This is just going to be the font that I use for lettering in Procreate.
I tried looking up videos on Procreate lettering and it was all 'free tutorial' videos that use fonts, temples, brushes and assets that you need to buy from the person who made the video. I don't mind buying fonts. I bought the one I am using. But it's so annoying to peel back the marketing slime when looking for information sometimes. I might actually have bought some of the font and brush packs people were trying to sell me if they'd been presented differently.
But, hopefully I am set for fonts. I have my font for my photography stuff, a good lettering font and I impulse bought a pack of vintagey/westerny fonts.
Still a lot of problems with the drawing, but I am going to attempt to call this done and move on.

Procreate has a 'felt marker' font I had been using, but it scales horribly and the letters take up too much space. This is more compact, so it's clear without intruding as much.
