AMES PRO by Purastik Graphics is a decorative typeface that cuts through generic comic letterings. Born from a free version that earned genuine trust with independent comic creators starting in 2011, this 2018 commercial edition polishes and expands the original design. You get three carefully drawn cuts: Regular, Italic, and Bold Italic, each staying legible at small sizes and lower resolutions where other typefaces tend to get muddy. The Latin Extended character set covers most European languages, and dingbats are included for added personality and visual breaks within your lettering.

This typeface was made for webcomic headers and panels, graphic novel title treatments, animation dialogue sequences, and DIY comic book page layouts. The OpenType features work quietly behind the scenes: automatic swaps kick in when identical letter pairs appear consecutively, and the same smart treatment applies to numerals. This creates hand-drawn inconsistency that makes comics feel alive on the page rather than mechanically perfect. Rather than a rigid grid, AMES PRO responds to narrative context, which is what you need when your project demands personality and spontaneity.
