Need help with a font

Post by Guest »

Years ago when I was in school for graphic design we were required to hand letter a font using a compass to draw circles upon which the radius of the letters would be built. It seems that I have seen a font recently that incorporates this look, including the circles. Can anyone help me identify the name of such a font or locate a source?

Hi X-trued,
As webmaster here, let me again plead that people use their actual names instead of a nickname. Short of using your real name in your username, it would help if you would go to your "Profile" and add in your real name in the Signature box. We get a lot of hit and run people registering on the site who then post links to cialas, on line n sites, viagra, and other porn sites. Danny and I delete them regularly, and some of the legitimate new users may be removed at the same time.


Okay, now that is over....
I don't know if you are talking about that old Times Roman font, often shown in the Davinci style sepia toned drawing, or if you are possibly talking about a more new looking font like PUMP? Pump should be available at many font source sites. The other one is tougher to find.
