Is there a particular style that is missing from your current font list? I'd like to hear what everybody would like to see.

Hi Chuck,
I mentioned this cigar label the other day when we spoke. I must have an original of it here. I don't know if there are enough characters for you to generate the rest, but these are some really nice letters. I'd love to see the complete font on this one!

Yes, this could be a nice one. The caps are real nice & beefy. Looks like most of the caps could be created using the same basic shapes. The lowercase is a bit weak and could use some thickening up... they might look better if they had some "swish" to them like the caps.

We might tackle this one.

Thanks,

Chuck: I think this type of font works better if the lower case is simpler like the sample with more character in the upper case letters. Remember that the old school old rule was throw in some character but keep it readable.

Okay Kent... Thanks for the advice. If anyone would know about old lettering it would be you and Mike. You guys are the experts!

Thanks,
