4 Hour Font Battle

January 20th, 2009 Competition

Last week, I par­tic­i­pated in Doc­tor Popular’s 4 hour font battle.

Using Yourfonts.com we all made a type­face, in 4 hours.

Here’s what I did:

Comic Serif

Alas, I was not tri­umphant in this bat­tle of fonts.
It made me make my own type­face though, which I’ve been mean­ing to do for years.
I’m inter­ested in mak­ing some­thing with­out time lim­its some­time, but it will have to wait for a bunch of my other projects to be fin­ished first!

You can read the results here.
& down­load everyone’s fonts here.

    For a four-hour chal­lenge that’s an awe­some result! I can’t wait to see what you pro­duce when you have more time!

    Hot Damn! That’s what I’m talkin’ about!

    I love the tail on the low­er­case q… and the upper­case Q. And your fig­ures are absolutely charm­ing. Kinda reminds me of Chank’s Mis­ter Frisky (http://www.chank.com/font_detail.php?sku=5195). But yours is so defin­i­tively Miss Star. =)

    I love it! I am going to use it to make you a thing, perhaps…

    I actu­ally dig this font quite a bit. Do you hap­pen to know what licens­ing the fonts were released under?

    Gosh darn it, I liked it so much I used it again… In a much bet­ter project this time. It’s a mini comic called Match­ing Tat­toos! Checky checky: http://jolieodell.wordpress.com/2009/02/04/comic-book/

    Love you, Lady Dude! And I miss you lots.

    I know it was a friendly com­pe­ti­tion and all, but I think this is clearly the best of the four fonts. At least, it’s the one I would (and might) actu­ally use.
