After eleven years and millions of character combinations, scientists at the Comicraft Alphabet Genome research facility in the Mojave Desert, under the direction of the genetartist known only as ’Ladronn,’ have finally determined the DNA sequence responsible for ensuring a good eye for design. DESIGNERGENES has been modified by our genetic engineers to guarantee high performance display lettering every time. Thanks to the selfless sacrifice of Comicraft volunteers, various mutations of this font have been thoroughly tested in the pages of UNCANNY X-MEN, NEW X-MEN and HIP FLASK: UNNATURAL SELECTION and can now be introduced to human society at large.

Someday, a long time from now, in a galaxy not so very far away, you’ll find yourself Suddenly transported to the nether- realms of Elsewhere, bathed in the light of the mystic moons of Meanwhile… While you’re waiting for that day, check out this font by John “JG” Roshell. It may not provide you with the same transcendental experience, but JG assures us that it really is the next best thing.

You’ve been shot down over enemy territory and you’ve managed to survive for weeks thanks to your training and instincts*... but now you’re being ruthlessly pursued by MAPPO’s footsoldiers… The ELEPHANTMEN! Will your commanding officer go against orders in an attempt to rescue you or will his mission be abruptly aborted, stranding you behind ENEMY LINES? In order to survive, you may have to betray your own rebel forces, your allies and the entire free world!

The future of mankind hangs in the balance! Failure is not an option! Bummer.

*This font’s modus operandi bears no relation to the story of any other font that may have been shot down behind enemy lines, real or imagined.
