Gibon Family Font

Designed by Juraj Chrastina, Gibon is a comic, dingbat, and hand-drawn font family. This typeface has fifteen styles and was published by Juraj Chrastina.

Gibon draws inspiration from the fascinating comic book universe inhabited not only by many legendary superheroes, monsters, and super badass antiheroes but also by its own legendary typefaces.

Every cartoonist and hand letterer needs a pencil, a T-square, and on and on. For digital lettering, Gibon is an option. This handy toolkit helps you easily letter your comic strips, but even if you have nothing to do with cartooning, this bundle can simply add some comic book feel to your design or make some noise with layered sound effects.

The basic font for speech balloon inking is Gibon Lettering, while Gibon Bold and Heavy let you emphasize certain text. Gibon Bold is further developed as a multilayer type where different styles are designed to be overlaid on top of each other, letting you work with built-in shadows, 3D effects, and outlines to create striking SFX.

Gibon Balloons offers different types of layered speech balloons and a few halftone patterns.

The OpenType contextual alternate feature is set to automatically apply the random effect using two sets of glyphs. Comics are lettered in all caps and so is Gibon. To easily access alternate characters they are encoded as lowercase letters.

Type the uppercase “I” to access the crossbar “I” and the lowercase “i” to access the crossbar-less “I”. Turn on stylistic set number one to use only crossbar-less “I”.
