A '''letterer''' is a member of a team of [[comic book creator]]s responsible for drawing the comic book's text. The letterer's use of [[typeface]]s, [[calligraphy]], letter size, and [[page layout|layout]] all contribute to the impact of the comic. The letterer crafts the comic's [[lettering|"display lettering"]]: the story title lettering and other special captions and credits that usually appear on a story's first page. The letterer also writes the letters in the [[word balloon]]s and draws in [[onomatopoeia|sound effects]]. Many letterers also design logos for the comic book company's various titles.
