N.C. Winters is always drawing. When he isn't making comics, doodling or working as a freelance graphic artist, he spends his time painting pretty pictures for galleries from his home studio in sunny southern California.

    No, it’s definitely Helvetica.

    Or Helvetica Neue Ultra Light?

    When in doubt, turn to Helvetica. It’s a neutral typeface. You can use it for ANYTHING. Arial is worse, by far. Just watch the documentary titled “Helvetica.”

      Documental “Helvetica” is very impressive!

    Awesome. Been a longtime follower of this strip,
    In fact it’s what kept me coming back here for a long time.

    My one suggestion, is start sharpening this thing.
    My eyes were watering trying to read the font, it’s far too blurry. :(

    You fools…it’s most obviously…

    …Papyrus.

    P.S. – If Freelance Freedom could release a higher res version of these comics, I’d love to print these out and post them in my workspace. Anyone else feel like this would be nice?

    Great strip NC – always loving your style and sharp observations of the freelancer’s world.

    We recently went through this process for our website and created our own unique fond for our logo
    ( visible on http://www.myows.com )

    But who needs custom-made fonts anyway when you can just use Century Gothic ?

    Ahh, but it was the 0.01 em space that made all the diffs.

    yeah I use Century Gothic or Eurostle most of the time

    the day I knew that papyrus was over used was the 1st term freshmen year when I passed by a bank sign in that font… I think it was a suntrust bank. I thought that font was only used for fantasy webcomics.
