Charlton Character Set

About

Based in Derby, Connecticut, Charlton Comics was in business from 1945 to 1986. The company’s second-hand press, originally used for printing cereal boxes, was very costly to stop and start so in order to keep it rolling they began publishing comics.

One of their most prolific letterers was Jon D’Agostino, who was also an accomplished artist, inker and colourist – it’s likely that he also designed many of the company’s logos, too. D’Agostino lettered some of Steve Ditko’s early issues of Amazing Spider-man, where he was credited as “Johnny Dee”.

This font is loosely inspired by his Charlton lettering style, which had an expressive bounce that was toned down for his later superhero work.

It was used to great effect on Ditko’s seminal 1950’s mystery and suspense strips, reprinted in the UK throughout the ’70s and ’80s in Alan Class’ black and white titles.

This digitisation includes three variants for each letter which cycle automatically to preserve its hand-drawn character, and a seriffed “I” which only appears when used in isolation. Two weights, italics and an all-new matching set of icons provide an effective, versatile family.
