Type
Here’s a sampling of some of the typefaces I’ve created. These fonts are free for personal use and if you find them useful, send me an e-mail. I’d like to see what you’ve done with them.

Ahh, bad blocks. A term so often used with Norton Utilities. An old PowerMac I used to work on at my office crashed so often that I became infatuated with the term, waiting anxiously for the next time we would encounter each other.
Actually, this typeface was an attempt at a hand-drawn, crudely-painted style similar to so many signs I see around my small Texas hometown in little shops and used car lots. I ultimately cleaned this one up considerably (and yet it still looks so bad) to get what you see here. Try it on.

For several years after my heart troubles, I was inundated with bills from doctors, hospitals and insurance companies. Eventually I took one of my billing statements and threw it on a scanner, only to extract this roughly-hewn typeface that is both grunge and monospaced, and somehow, so foreboding. I feel like I owe someone money anytime I see it in print. Use at your own risk.

The names of these typefaces are from the mega-novel “Imajica” by Clive Barker. I read this novel many years ago and along with my late friend, Sherman McClain, decided to build some original typefaces inspired by the characters therein. All characters were individually hand-drawn by Sherman himself and are a lasting tribute to his talent as an illustrator.
Inspired by the clone of the novel’s hero, Gentle, who ultimately becomes the sinister tyrant that rules over the Second Dominion, Sartori conveys a certain deliberate madness in its lines.

TranScript is my first attempt at creating a typeface from scratch. This is probably what my handwriting would look like if I didn’t print everything in ALL CAPS. The highly informal, sketchy handwritten style works best in small doses, especially when you don’t want handwriting to look like a font.
