[quote]@Heron2001:Koeie - No Problemo - it's an Americanism... Not going for the male/female or even proper. Don't know where it came from - probably some comedian during the 1950s or 1960s... with the influx of the Spanish speaking population in major cities in the US.[/quote] It also pertains to the addition of "-o" to the end of words in order to make them "Spanish" for comedic effect: "Where-o is el bathroom-o?" Yet another Americanism rooted in our bull-headed refusal to actually learn more than one language. (Aber ich versuche einen Ausnahme bekommen.) ;) - re: Can u identify this font?? please

I have come across quite a few fonts here that deserve to be included/cross-referenced in the Sports category. A small list: Athletic College Cowboys Go Long (possible) Ivy League Mandatory (possible) My Puma Pakenham (possible) Porn Star Academy Princetown Raiders Sport Spirit AF Team Spirit Viking Stencil URWWOODTypD The "possibles" are there because they are quite similar to fonts used for name lettering on soccer jerseys. There's also some stylized scripts that are definitely used for baseball uniforms (Marketing Script and Ballpark, for one) I hope this helps to expand the Sports category for everyone. cheers! - Suggestions for "Sports" Adds?

Certainly hand drawn. Try Automobile, Alako Bold, Brody, Dyspepsia, Deftone Stylus (ofr a bolder one) for some close looks... - re: Font Identification Help!!!!!

Ahhh, That's right. I suppose in America, the fraktur style is not as culturally tainted with the trappings of fascism. The use by Radiohead of the overly ornate capitals in their iconography is meant, I suspect, to reflect that but they ARE European. I guess I'm interested in the more contemporary version of the style, where ornate, chaotic line is melded with a more twentieth century typeface like Times Roman or Garamond (a good example is the Broken Ghost font). It's fascinating that to you it looks aggressive, while to me it looks hopelessly romantic. I'm enjoying the discussion in this thread. It's a lot more intriguing than: What font is this?

Well, it would be interesting to know what brought about their renaissance. Design is such a strange entity. On one hand we have the Ikea-ification of the world and on the other hand we have the chaos that makes up contemporary print design (to which I might add: BLEGH!). Truth be told, I DO prefer a cleaner type...;) - re: Does anyone know what font this is?

1942 report is a good, spooky typewriter font that looks slighly embossed Artist Stamp Regular is also a a good spooky font that extends well. There's also one called...Dyspepsia? Dysleksia? I can't remember exactly. Also try: Cheapskatefill, Civilian (good if you want a spooky script font), The Gingerbread House, Got Heroin?, Kinderfeld, Requiem II, Tom's New Roman... The two things to be sure to watch for are full character sets and legibility, especially at small reolution. There's a reason Arial is the standard... hope that helps! PS thought of another! the new one: Broken Ghost! PPS Also, just go look in the horror section...tons of good ones in there. - re: Looking for the perfect font.

My guess is that the font in the original poster was not a font, but hand painted by a pro. Not that it helps or anything, but that's how it was done then. Plus, look at the "a"s...slightly different, each one. As for a close free match , you might also try Machine Script. - re: Casablanca Movie Poster Font
