Cool Font - Weird Bill


How cool is this font.

I've actually paid for it and have used it on one of my new ukulele books and two of my web sites. The new www.UkuleleStrums.com that is a companion site to my new ukulele book A guide to Ukulele Strums. I also redesigned my UkuleleChords.net web site and used the font.

Weird Bill is Squid's tribute to his most prominent influence, Bill Campbell, model kit box illustrator extraordinaire and creator of the Weird-Ohs!. Bill's series of goofy monster model kits in the early 1960s was such a hit that it has been reissued twice! Weird Bill is fun, freaky, frantic and full of frenetic frappery!

House Industries: Studio Lettering

House Industries: Studio Lettering:

New family of hand-lettering style typefaces by House Industries’ Ken Barber. Check out the amazing OpenType substitutions and contextual alternates.






House Industries’ is a great font house and I have a few of the fonts on my FAS (Font Acquisition Syndrome) list to buy.



I especially like their Tiki and Shaq collections.
