Character Set


Brrrrrr

(available at myfonts.com and fonts.com)

A novelty font is an extreme form of display font. Often it has letters that are made of recognizable elements, such as safety pins, knives and forks, or umbrellas.

I have done a great many novelty fonts during the eight years I have been designing typefaces. In fact one of the very first fonts I constructed, ChooChoo, was a novelty font. People who collect shareware fonts have probably seen my RedLetter font, which was again one of the very first typefaces I designed. I am not quite sure what attracts me to this type of font, but it formed the backbone of the third font CD I did for Wayzata Technology, Font Pro 5. Unfortunately Wayzata developed serious problems within months of publishing this CD, so it never got much expose. Now they are all on my No-Hype Type CD.

Brrrrrr is supposed to represent snow-covered letters, though it could also be letters covered with frosting. The lower case letters are identical to the upper-case letters. It is one of the earliest of my novely fonts.
