This is possibly the first time I've ever used a font in Smith apart from the urls below the strip. As I've mentioned before, I tend not to like the use of fonts in cartoon strips as they look too mechanical and never match with the artwork. You can tell when the writing and the artwork on a page don't match.
On the other hand I'm a real font nerd, and a road sign which didn't have the right typeface on it (MoT Transport Medium in this case) would drive me mad. So I've taken care to use the correct font, but then skew and distort it just enough to match the shaky line of my own artwork.
