Carl Barks Font by LordMakar Carl Barks Font by LordMakar
MY FIRST FONT EVAAAAAAAR!

Hopefully I'll have a good amount more to follow. I'm using a 30 day trial of FontCreator. So, there is a time limit.

Most people begin their font making with their own handwriting. Well... my own handwriting is less than legible. So, I decided to take someone elses's handwriting, the duck master Carl Barks. I pulled the letters from old comics, most notably "Back to the Klondike".

The bold emphasis letters are the capitals. <,>, = are the Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, and Gyro Gearloose logos. and [ and ] are music notes.

Oh yeah, all that stuff up there, belongs to Disney. And I think I've seen that demo design before...

EDIT: I have seen it, it was a logo on a Carl Barks biography I have.

That's my favourite font now :D! But it hasn't got some Polish letters, like ą, ę, ó, so when I'm writing something in Polish I use a similiar font "Carl Barks Script". I love Barks' letters from late fourties and fifties :)!

In all honesty, I've never thought about putting in letters from other languages. I don't exactly see them when I look down on my keyboard! I'll have to remember stuff like that next time I make a font. Thanks for the tip!

n.n I'm glad you love the font! And thank you for the fav!

So cool! I've got a similar font and use it like, all the time. I'm more used to the typed letters in the weekly, or the hand written Dutch letters, though.
I totally need fonts of the three different Donald Duck logos I know.

to me a comic isn't a comic without Barks handwriting. It just doesn't feel right. Nostalgia may be part of that.

There's a weekly? o.o The things America lacks! I think the only way to get Disney comics here is to subscribe to them for an arm and a leg. I must learn more languages to read comics from all over the world!

Anyway, I hope the logos are high enough quality for whatever you need them for. That program was weird about those pics.

The US is about the worst western country there is if it's about comics- Seems nobody reads them!
We've got our weekly here for 55 years now, and it's one of my favorites because of the good mix through the years. I mean, most weeklies are only meant for kids, and the American ones often have good comics but there's noting else in it, pretty boring. I'll show you some of it if you're interested! We also have a monthly by the way, and a few other (less interesting) Disney magazines, and quite a lot of series with albums.
This is my collection- It's not much, I'm not a real collector, this is just what I got by being subscribed since 1996. And there's some booklets, albums and old stuff I got or bought second hand. [link]

These are the Dutch comic books, 'Donald Duck' is the main weekly, 'Donald Duck extra' is the montly and 'De beste verhalen van Donald Duck' is the longest running album series. Barks only!

whoa 0.0 apparently all duck fans have comics from the beginning of duck time. I see all the old yellow ones. (most of our collection is printings from the 50s, 60s, and 70s) We also have a bunch of comics from around 1996 (my grandfather owned a comic book shop at the time, closed when he died). So I just started my personal collection recently. (My father and grandparents all read the comics.)

I took a Macroeconomics class, and it resparked my love of Uncle Scrooge comics. Scary when a college course makes you think " yeah I saw that in a U$ comic"

You know, I might have to become a transfer student. Not sure, if Scrooge comics is a good reason for that though.
