I'm still confused, is fontazia an alias for ben of fontalicious? - re: Need a round font/family

Yeah, it seems very difficult to get any information about any of it. If i remember correctly, fontalicious was quite popular half a decade ago. His fonts were all over the place (not to mention his graphic designs were lots of fun), yet no one seems to know anything about him or what happened. I take Koeiekat's comments with a grain of salt, as I have read in the past quite a few crazy theories. I personaly can't believe fontalicious would be bothered by gray suits, when so many font pages are still offering his work, some selling it still. (i won't name names, but you know who you are frontbros) Most people seemed to believe he was too busy with fanclub to bother with fontalicious. But even that page seems to be out. So, truth of the matter is, this deserves it's own thread, or better yet, hard investigative reporting. Untill then, thanks everyone for your help! I will post some of my homemade fonts once I'm not so busy! =] -ipa - re: Need a round font/family

I don't understand, what does fantazia and fontalicious have to do with each other? - re: Need a round font/family

After closer inspection, it seems that porky's is vag rounded black, with extra bolding, and rotated. And what happened to fontalicious anyway? Forever gone, then came back a cheap imitation of what it used to be? I'm confused. - re: Need a round font/family

Thanks alex and schawlben! Great ideas, it's good to get advice from true font fans. To answer #4, yes i did just open up porky's and edit it. However, you are correct that it does look a touch too bold. =\ Anywho, I decided that vag rounded wins! A great font family with a fun bold, and an easy to read light. Thanks again schwalben. Enjoy the rest of your sweet vacation! -ipa - re: Need a round font/family

Thanks, although i did see insaniburger, it's lack of lowercase is a draw back. I have gordon, and alba matter already, and gordon's too blocky on the ends, and alba matter is too funky. =\ i searched all of the sans already as well, and could not find what i was looking for. So i spent some time and created a new font, essentialy straightening out porky. The caps seem to be the same as insaniburger. After putting it in with the piece, I may or may not go with it, depending if I can find a font that goes with it for the text heavy parts. Any suggestions? Thanks again for the input! - re: Need a round font/family

Hi, I am creating a document for a toy company. I need a round sans font similar to porky's, but without the rotated characters. A porky's straight if you will. I haven't been able to find anything similar, altough dreamspeak seems like it would compliment well. I need a font that will be used for headers, and a font that compliments for larger bodys of text. Any suggestions? thanks - Need a round font/family
