RedLetter

(available at myfonts.com)

RedLetter was a fun font to create. In late 1988 or early 1989 I noticed that the circular form of the sickle and the linear form of the hammer could be used to form all the letters of the alphabet. I released the result as a promotional typeface in an effort to sell other typefaces, first in Type 3 format as Stalingrad, and later in Type 1 format as RedLetter. If you collect public-domain and shareware typefaces, you probably have seen this typeface. This version has been reworked and improved and it (this version) is no longer shareware or promoware.

The typeface was constructed as an interesting design problem, not for any particular use. It is quite unlike anything else. (Do not try to read any political significance into this design. If you try to do so, I can guarantee you that you will be wrong.)
