The Comic-Script
The BD Lettering is a computer font that closely resembles genuine handwriting.
In the past, cartoons used to be lettered by hand. Hardly anyone does this today. The reason is that hardly anyone has nice handwriting these days, so there are practical advantages in having a special font. However, the font should still look like it's been written by hand. Well, most script fonts don't meet this requirement.
In order for the typeface to actually look handwritten, it needs to have clearly visible irregularities. These are not found only in the shapes of the individual letters. Even though BD Lettering is all in capital letters, the characters of uppercase and lowercase letters are clearly different. Additionally, many alternative shapes are used, which are automatically applied when the OpenType Ligatures feature is activated. Thus, there are no identical double letters or numerals, and many character combinations are defined as ligatures with alternative forms.
The name of this font is a tribute to the Belgian and French comics, which are referred to there as bande dessinée, in short BD or even the abbreviation BD.
