Are you watching closely? We know what you're looking for -- the secret. Comicraft’s magic formula, our Legendary Legerdemain. But you won't find it because of course, you're not really looking. You don't really want to work it out. You want to believe in the magic. Every great Comicraft font consists of three parts. The first part is called “The Pledge”. Comicraft shows you an ordinary looking font: A through Z, nothing more than the letters of the alphabet, unaltered, normal. But of course... they aren't. The second part is called “The Turn”. Comicraft takes the ordinary letters of the alphabet and makes them look extraordinary. Now you are peering closely -- you convince yourself you're looking for the secret... even though you really don't want to know. You want to be fooled. And you are! But don't applaud yet. Because making something extraordinary isn't enough... That’s why every Comicraft font has a third part, the hardest part, what we call “The Prestige”. That''s when we have to SELL the font. And that’s the real trick. See the families related to Legendary Legerdemain: Legendary Legerdemain Leggy.

These are the letters I doodled in the margins of my high school notebooks. As it turns out, a man named Milt Glaser doodled them first. He doodled a lot of other amazing things too. Mr. Glaser called his blocky alphabet Baby Teeth. I think the type looks better when it says Surfside, so that's what I called my incarnation. This version has been digitized and expanded, and is available for Mac and PC. These letters remind me of the 80s and the 90s, of Gotcha shorts, Ocean Pacific shirts and fluorescent windbreakers. Surfside matched my Airwalks. They're big and bold. Clunky and funky. Spices up words. Makes 'em look great! Surfside is cool and available for a low low price... scoop it up today!
