OregonDry v1.0 (is OregonWet, minus the splash/water drop effect) Shareware: $5.00
by Pat Snyder
If using OregonWet (a popular Type 1 typeface with the effect of water/raindrops/tears surrounding or splashing near each character) OregonDry is the same font without the splash effect, plus kerning so it can stand alone for display/ad copy. It too is a full font, with upper/lower case letters, numbers, most shifted-number symbols & punctuation. The fonts can be combined for creative effects for before and after messages i.e. Wet/Dry; Sweat/No sweat; tears/No tears; OregonDry, however,stands on its own for display or ad copy.
Punctuation uses normal keyboard strokes for: : ; ' , . / and ?. Double quotes, " ", for before and after words are handled by the Mac's often undiscovered built in keystrokes for making curly quotes instead of typewriter quotes: Option-[ types a beginning double quote and Option-Shift-[ types and end double quote. Best at/over 36 and very effective in Outline or Shadow. Screen fonts: 36, 48, 60, 72.

I teach drawing, painting, printmaking, and commercial art to high school students. This is the third Type 1 font I've created: SnyderSpeed, a sign painter's brush stroke in all caps was first, then OregonWet, which adds splash to letters or messages.
