Drive has many characteristical elements of style, making it unique and easily identifiable.

Colours

All pages are held entirely in monochrome shades of blue, with the rare exception of the Drive logo and promotional messages. This is partly due to Dave Kellett's colour blindness[citation needed].

Dialogue

Speech bubbles & SFX

Typography

Quite often, sentences at the end of a bubble do not have a full stop. Exclamations are not uncommonly emphasized with two exclamation marks!!

Fonts

A variety of fonts is used, largely depending on emphasis or context:

  • all-caps, normal-sized comic font
  • all-caps, bold italics font, usually used to emphasize and usually slightly bigger than the normal-sized font
  • all-caps, BIG FONT, usually quite big, used for yelling and header titles
  • monospace font, largely used in extra pages for correspondence
  • normal, non-serif font, usually used in extra pages for encyclopedic entries and similar official texts from the empire
