Try it out big, especially all caps! Already popular on mytheme.com, and around the intarwebs in general.
Hey guys, I just launched thesnark.org to raise awareness of a new punctuation mark, the snark. Its a mark for showing irony or sarcasm at the end of a sentence. It was fine-tuned by a group of type designers, some of who's work is all over this site. Several of my own typefaces already include it.
At the new site, you can see banners, the history, which goes back farther than you might think, and learn more about it. There is nothing we are selling, just promoting a free idea! To make a new punctuation catch on we have to spread the word,. So, here I am, and if you like it, please do the same.

Have fun, best at LARGE sizes.
Thank you very much. Check out www.exclamachine.com, or look us up here for more free fonts. And, I plan on doing something interesting next year with Sketchy Times...
Icludes alternate Capitals in the lowercase area, full ascii support, the Euro, Major Accents, and the OpenType enabled ligature of .~ (the Snark) for marking ironic sentences.
Here's a font, made of trees, or, at least, bits of wood. Someone posted an antique specimen picture online, hoping it would get made into a scalable face. It did. Hope you all enjoy too.
I even added numerals, a 'J' and a modern 'U', (the old 'U' is still there as a 'V') along with some essential punctuation. This style is made for those big initial dropped capitals, or a short word. This is not for strings of lengthy text.
This font is released under the creative commons, so you are welcome to open it up, poke around in it, and add or modify the characters, if you are into that sort of thing.
Inspired by German blackletters, and offered as a contemporary alternative to the Latin designs, "!The Black Bloc" is at once decorative and legible.
Have fun with the font, and if you do anytihng interesting, send me a line! Thanks for your time.
