Everything but the lowercase w is certified awesome. And hey, I ~like~ the Z for Pidge.

Good eye, Salient. The lower case w is weak. You're right.

Also, what's the font used for the title "Visit of St. Nicholas"?

Also, the uppercase Q actually looks quite like a Q which has discovered it has agency over its one limb and is therefore preparing to leap away from that smelly RS. Think coiled frog's leg.

Thanks, John. I love the capital X of Tentacule. It's a pity that you probably won't get a chance to use it. Perhaps if Owl travels with Xenophon and the Greeks to fight against Squid and the Persians.

Bill Benzon

What software did you use to design and compile your type?

The Modesto Kid

Perhaps if Owl travels with Xenophon and the Greeks to fight against Squid and the Persians.

Alternately Squid could team up with agents Mulder and Scully to investigate the extraterrestrial abduction of Owl.

Caps on and off to the Font Le Roy.

Hey Bill, I use Scanfont, a plugin for Typetool, from Fontlab. Unfortunately, these are not free and not super cheap. But I have a new hobby, apparently, so I sprung for them.

Nice fonts. I like Pidge. I hope that you would let others have the previlege of using your fonts.

If you really want to know the provenance of Ringlet, the owner of www.typeheritage.com might be able to give you an answer. Too bad Anna has not dropped by alt.binaries.fonts for a few months now or I would ask her myself.

Nice fonts.

  • Confused by our comment policy?

    We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
