This lettering is annoying me because I know exactly what mistake was made when typesetting it and it’s consistent through the entire volume.

(the i should only be written with serifs when it’s a pronoun, but the font they used encodes this by having the capital i being seriffed, so they’ve ended up writing every sentence that starts with an i with a seriffed i)

@soilseacht Wait, is there such typing rules about serifs? I have never noticed that until you pointed it!

@Ronflaix For comics, yeah! Scrapnik Island for example here where they consistently only have seriffed Is for the personal pronoun, even at the start of a sentence.

@soilseacht Oh, that makes sense visually. So you can glance over and not consider it as a | or something other than an i. Do you know where I can look for more rules like that, I'm suddenly even more intrigued by the ins and outs of typesetting now!

@Ronflaix Nate Piekos has an entire book on comic lettering. I haven’t read it but he also has a page of general tips here: https://blambot.com/pages/lettering-tips
