Preview of the storyboard and the script
The AS Dehcho is a Comic Font in the making. It’s being built especially for this graphic novel.
Dehcho is the original name of the Mackenzie River and also the Indigenous name of the area of the stor.
The font will eventually include the accents of the Liidlii Kue First Nation (Dene Zhatie), French and German.
Above that, the font will include contextual alternatives that allow various versions of letters, so for Instance, not every Capital-B looks the same.
