As part of this typeface brief, and really to get me started, I have been looking at Frank Miller, famous for creating the Sin City graphic novels and the film that followed. What I am really looking for here are the different styles that characters appear in, how Frank draws letterforms and how they change in different situations...
Frank Millers style is fairly heavy and masculine, a reflection on his style of storytelling really. What is important to not in these comics is that words are written fairly phonetically, as in any words that the speaker is exaggerating are in turn exaggerated on the page...
...same goes for the way that speech-boxes are drawn and the positioning of words within them...
... and the way that noises and other environmental sounds are illustrated on the page.
