hey guys, another most likely free font ID. thanks!

I think Ryan has been hanging around Homestar Runner (also on the "Don'tcha Like Me???" ID request--from one of the fake Fluffy Puff Marshmallow ads). I think the Chapmans do a lot of their own fonts. Not sure if that's the case here though.


I've got your answer. It's Comix Heavy, an old Weatherly Systems font (WSI). Unfortunately, Weatherly doesn't license its fonts anymore.


I decided to pay Dafont a visit, but Comics is the closest I could find.


Thanks Yves, Comics is close, but just not quite what I'm looking for... i've actually been looking for this font for a while and come across Comics with little satisfaction... i know it's out there somewhere!!


Haha, you got me, Mark. I've ID'd most of the fonts on Homestar myself, and most of them are pre-existing, actually... I figured they spend enough time on the toons themselves than to keep making their own fonts...

Also, the "don'tcha like me??" ID looks alot like the one used in the online comedy series Red Vs. Blue in their main logo, so methinks that one may be pre-existing as well...


Ah, shoot... thanks though, James. Yeah, the Brethren Chaps have been using that font for a while I think... so they probably snatched it up before it went off the market. Thanks again.


Where is this sample from?
