Character Set


LineDrive (Plain, Bold, Outlined)

(available at myfonts.com and fonts.com)

LineDrive is based on a typeface which I saw illustrated in a book about 19th century type design. I did not attempt to do an exact reproduction, but rather used the general design of letters. I added the bold version because it was easy to do. The original never caught on, but I still like the design.

One of the effects the font distortion program Font-O-Matic promised was the ability to outline a letter. I tried it a couple of times, and found that it took so long to clean up the results into a form that I found acceptable that it would be easier to do it directly in Fontographer. The outline version of LineDrive was one of the rare outputs of the program that I kept.
