Ustler's Font
After finishing the Logo, Font and Lettering Bible, I've thought it would be neat to try and develop a font, but didn't have an inspiration. Then, touring the newly remodeled Ustler Hall on campus, I found my muse.
The dedication plaque of the original gym has some of the funkiest uncials I have ever seen. I'm fascinated by the double tail serifs each letter has. If a student from eons past hadn't defaced the engraving with ink I might never has noticed.
I plan to go back and do a rubbing from the plaque, and then scrounge up a used copy of Fontographer. Now, just to find the time...
