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.
Folkard Spotted in Bar Harbor
I’m on vacation in Maine with the family and happened to be visiting Bar Harbor, Maine’s legendary tourist town. Among the many chic restaurants, my eye was caught by the sign on a brand restaurant called the Lazy Lobster, a little bistro whose owners had decided to display their good taste by doing their sign in our Folkard font. Folkard is generally considered a fairy tale font and that’s where it sees most of its use – as in Disney’s Faeries games and books – but clearly lobsters like it too.

did they pay for it?
It’s very hard to track that because we have a number of distributors, but I hope so and we tend to give people the benefit of the doubt.
