I'll go first.

"Dr.Paprika" is a freeware font I created, using FontLab 4.5, in OpenType format, so both Mac and Win users can laugh at it. It's based on URW's FrizQuadrata Bold Italic font, but I created the splines myself and copied them to FontLab as Illustrator files originally designed using Xara.

Xara 3D version 6 was used to animate the characters in the following GIF file. Thanks to Kate Moir at Xara!

My Best,

Odyssey Draft-a new font

I was sketching in my (physical) studio, and decided to put together a typeface based on one of my handwriting styles--I usea to hand-letter posters for work back the 1970s.

Odyssey Draft is inspired by the work of airbrush artist Roger Huyssen, a man I learned a lot from. I drew out the alphabet (it's not complete, but this is a WIP, and I'll refine the font in the future) using a Sharpie pen (hence it's a demi-bold face), then scanned the paper, auto-traced it using Adobe Streamline, and exported every character using CorelDraw (Co rel's still good for generating PFB files :). I then tweaked it using Fontlab 4, and exported as Opentype, so both Mac and Win users can work with it.

It's freeware; enjoy!

My Best,

Cursive lettering

Here's a free Opentype font, loose in construction, and good for stylish, hand lettering.
