what font to use in scantrad

[FK-MASTER]

Hello,
I’m wondering what font is typically used in scanlation for different types of text:

• Normal speech bubbles
• Thoughts or internal monologues

If you have any recommendations or know the standard fonts, I’d love to hear them. Thanks!

I'm just a normal user but AnonBlack's Typesetting Guide may prove to be useful for you:

Comic Sans best font ever!

Ariel Black and New Times Roman, dude.

I can guarantee you can never go wrong with it.
but I can't guarantee that you wouldn't be shunned by the Scanlation community.

I personally use Comic Crafts fonts because they have really great fonts for Manga.

Some of my usual go-to are:-
CC Kiss and Tell Int
CC Astro City Int
CC wild words Roman

Not from CC:-
Spinner Rack BB
Zud Juice
