Tribute to Nova

Tribute to Nova by Tommy Cary is a free retro-comic display font with the blunt, oversized energy of old cartoon title lettering. The letters are broad and punchy, mixing squared-off tops with rounded curves so the font feels both chunky and playful, with a slightly homemade 1998 attitude that keeps it from turning slick.

It fits poster headlines, zine covers, arcade-style title cards, comic logos, and short packaging callouts where a free font with this much bulk can do the talking fast. Use it when you want big words to feel loud and a little goofy, especially in short caps settings where those heavy curves and boxy cuts keep the rhythm nice and simple.
