Broken links fixed

After much dawdling, I’ve now fixed all the font download links and fixed the two PayPal buttons to buy Infiltrace and Mnooba Regular fonts. Sorry for the delay.

Infiltrace

Letterforms have been scalpel’d and brought back to life in an amalgamation, a rabid splice together of font parts. You can buy both PC and Mac versions of this font for just $8.00. Click on the button below to buy and I will mail you the font.

Mnooba Regular

A clean, tight font with inertia and style which also has distinctive sloping serifs. This features a large character set. You can buy both PC and Mac versions of this font for just $8.00. Click on the button below to buy and I will mail you the font.

Mnooba Outline

Commercial font to be sold by Bitstream late 2004. One of the fonts I am most proud of.

Font creation

I don’t know if any of you Smoking Drum veterans out there are wondering – but just in case you are I thought it would be polite to at least make some sort of explanation – about the state of any new font creations.

Well the answer boils down to this – I have no font creation software any more. I previously used Fontographer but it doesn’t work in Classic and I cannot boot my Mac into OS 9. So I’m buggered basically. The only font creation tool out there which appears to be current and work with OS X is FontLab which is expensive enough that I cannot justify purchasing it.

So, I don’t honestly know what the situation is regarding new font creation. If I can find a tool which I can afford then hopefully production will start up again. I will keep you posted, for sure.

Strokey Bacon

A cool grungy font which has gone over the handlebars and landed in the gravel. This is one of my favourite fonts yet.

Pyrobats

We kick off 2001′s font releases with my first dingbat font, called Pyrobats. Over 30 flame-fuelled illustrations to light up your artwork! Includes bonus scissor slashing dingbats. What twisted imagination produced these?

Tragic Bureau

This typeface has a certain downbeat air. Most fonts which look like this tend to get given really ‘zany’ upbeat names and I don’t want to do that. Anyway, this is my first face to include a wealth of accented characters and other extra bits. It works great at a variety of sizes too.

Refuse Trip

Now, here’s something I’m reasonably proud of. I wanted a hand drawn, badly drawn 3 dimensional letters type thing. Do you agree that it’s nice as a title font? I think so…

I particularly like the way that you can make it a two colour experience. And it works very well on coloured backgrounds (as seen here) not just as a boring black effort. By they way, this one reveals more about itself the bigger you make it too!

Inlines Rough

Of course, fonts always look good big, don’t they? This one looks great when it’s nice and big. Why, you ask? Because it has subtle detail which becomes apparent when you look at it large. Trust me…
