Hi there!
My name is Lucas Gattoni: designer, typesetter and long time comic book fan!
After more than 12 years of working on those other fields, I'm starting a career on comic book lettering, which has always been my passion since I started noticing those beautiful intro pages done by the awesome Richard Starkings for Comicraft in the 90s.
I letter digitally, but could also do some handlettering if the project demands it. I have a good package of fonts that can be used for free commercially and will start designing my own fonts later this year.
I have included in this page a few samples of what I can do as a letterer, which I will update with each new project I tackle.
As of april 2016 I'm freelancing for Red King Press, lettering some short stories for their anthology title, and its monthly The Commander.
I'd love to hear from you if you need any kind of comic book lettering done. I'm really open to suggestions and I love facing each new project by trying to learn what I can offer to amp it up. You can contact me and we can talk about your comic book lettering needs and set a page rate that works for both of us.
