It seems like I've spent an awful lot of time lately messing up fonts and hand lettering things to get that "MTV-Wired Magazine" look everyone is after these days. So I decided that rather than reinvent the wheel every time I need a cool font I would start making my own. Well, after everyone in the office wanted them, I decided I might be able to find some other maniacs out there who would appreciate a few trendy new fonts. I use and abuse them in CorelDraw, Photoshop, 3-D programs and word processors they add real personality to what ever you use them for. \par \par The fonts are in TrueType format. To use them, please install them using the appropriate software (i.e. Windows Control Panel, Windows'95 control panel, etc.). Below is a description of the fonts I currently have available on-line. \par \par \par \pard\li810\fi-810\plain\f5\fs22\b FREAK:\plain\f5\fs22 \par \pard\li630\plain\f5\fs22 This is a funky hand lettered font that just begs to be used for coffee house promo. It is best when used in sizes above 16 points and is even better when used for posters where it can be printed in giant sizes. It was hand drawn in Fractal Designs Painter with lots of little Doo-Dads. \par \pard\plain\f5\fs22 \par \pard\li810\fi-810\plain\f5\fs22\b OVEREXPOSED:\plain\f5\fs22 \par \pard\li630\plain\f5\fs22 This is a "courier" style font that looks as if it was overexposed on film. It is funky yet still very readable. It is best used in sizes over 12 points but really looks cool when used over 16 points. This is a favorite for use in video graphics. \par \pard\plain\f5\fs22 \par \pard\li810\fi-810\plain\f5\fs22\b SMASH: \par \pard\li630\plain\f5\fs22 This is another "courier" style font which has been smashed. It is nicely distressed and has cracks, chunks and blobs. Some people think it looks like a crappy FAX or broken typewriter. It is compatible with Overexposed, so you can mix and match letters so you don't have two of the same messed up letters in a row.(Pretty cool huh?) \par \par \pard\li810\fi-810\plain\f5\fs22\b ZAPPED:\plain\f5\fs22 (This is not the final version - It's still being tweeked) \par \pard\li810\plain\f5\fs22 This is a grungy font with a sort of extruded look. I was working on a poster for the punk band XILLA (they are hot check'm out). It looks like it came out of warzone. Aduse it! \par \pard\li810\fi-810\plain\f5\fs22 \par \par \pard\plain\f5\fs22 All of these fonts were created in CorelDraw 5. Some have more extended characters than others but all the basic letters and symbols are there. They seem to work well in all programs that I've used them in. \par \par \par \plain\f4\fs28\b DISTRIBUTION \par \plain\f5\fs22 \par You are more than welcome to distribute these fonts as long as all files (including the registration.txt and this readme.wri) are included.
