New Font: BigBlok
A great many years ago when working in game publishing I had a real fascination with doing titles in a strong, super-bold font called Bolt Bold. The truth is I rather overused it. In doing some research I find it on more than a dozen different game books I wrote in the early 80s, all quite collectable and out of print today.
Classic Font: Black Cow
Black Cow was originally developed back in 1998 as an addition to our Horror Fonts and Art collection. It has since been through several revisions with the addition of lots of alternate character forms. It’s a super quirky font with very odd wiggly characters with peculiar embellishments and an overall look which is somewhat creepy. The font includes a plain and a decorated version of each character plus third alternates of many of the characters as well. It’s great for doing titles for Halloween themed projects, which is why we’re featuring it this month. As for the title and where it came from, I’ll leave you to guess that for yourselves.
You can try the demo version of Black Cow for free, or order the full Black Cow set online with the complete expanded character set and the various custom weights and styles.
