 Hi, I'm a newbie here, but I've been dabbling in typography and font design on my own for a few years now. I have discovered a style of ornamental capital which I'm eager to find as a font. I'm not sure if it is really a font, though. It might just be fancy customised lettering.
I found these capitals in a book called "Angels: An Endangered Species". I was actually more impressed by these capitals than by the content of the book. I just stumbled on this site, and there seem to be more than a few folks here who really know their fonts :)
Okay, a little more detail on this: I've searched through the text, and these ornate caps are reserved for chapter openings (as they should be), so there are few of them. I was only able to spot these 4 letters (some are used more than once at various places).
Any ideas on this one? The engraved look of the detail makes me think that it's probably custom lettering, but with font design as intricate as it is these days, I figured even for a book that's been around since 1990, that there might be such a font. Oh, and one more thing: the typesetting of the text was done by someone in Florence, italy by the name of Simonetta Castelli. I know, it's a long shot, but I can't find anything but pages in Italian on her (hmm ... wonder why?? ;) Thanks in advance for helping!

I am looking for a font w/ people, preferably kids, making letters either w/ their whole bodies or like "YMCA." I swear I've seen that type of logo, but does it exist as a font? FYI, this is for a community coalition that serves kids.

Heh, neat. The font I submitted called Tribal Two is one of the top downloads!

Greetings, font maniacs!
I wonder if there ANY font types which has some (or all) of the accented letters?
Such as: í,é,á,ö,ü,ű,ó,Á,?,?,Ű,? etc. tc.
If not, is there any way to make accented letters in an existing font type?
Please answer!

As far as Allegheny goes, Aquiline is pretty well an exact replica - though the kerning may be a little unpredictable, you can easily fix this with the word processor or graphics packageof your choice.
Your Abaddon-esque face, though...that's tougher. You're obviously looking for some big, swag-like, gothic spiky bits, but to find them with a full character set exactly how you like them will be more tricky. Off the top of my eye I remembered that there was an Unreal Tournament replica font floating around (on this very site, as it happens), which you can pick up here: spiky, yes indeed, but perhaps not quite enough for your tastes. But it does have a full character set, so there's a plus. Then you've got something like Tribal Two, a little ganglier and more barbed. It does have the most vicious-looking "S" I've ever seen, though.
As I said, those two were just from memory, so I'll keep looking for you - but if one (or both) of those suits, then brillo.
Grrrr,

And in answer to your question, Kat, a little Googling would seem to suggest that Allegheny is a county in Pennsylvania (USA, obviously). Anything else? Who knows.

Hi everybody:
The font I´ve used for this image is called "Will Robinson" (I guess so).
I like it very much, but it has a little problem. It has only capital letters (A,B,C,D,...but no a,b,c,d...).
I would like to ask you if you know a font, similar to this one, which contains all the letters (capitals and smalls).
Your help will be very helpful.As always, thanks.

The first one I found is 5x5 dots.

But I think it is far from ideal, all letters having the same hight.
Why not name a font that you think would be the best if it only were in dots? Then I'll make you the font.
When I was young and ignoranent we learned the shape of the letters with the help of letters cut out of sandpaper glued on pieces of board. Amazing that I can still remember this.

Hello, Im new, usually I can find what i need, but not this time
I need a font in which all the characters vary in heights slightly so it has the effect of looking like a changeable letters sign.

I could just use the impact font and individually type and move each letter but its a bit of a chore, especially because the sign im trying to make is skewed.
Thanks
Derek
