The traditional style of comic book lettering is in all-uppercase. Comicraft fonts feature alternate versions of each uppercase letter, which automatically substitute for a natural, pen-drawn appearance. Characters on the upper case keys tend to be narrower for longer words like PROFESSOR and ADAMANTIUM when you need to squeeze them into tight corners.
