- Notes on LORVAD(R) (formerly Printers Devil) fonts:
- OxNard is an outline shadow font with irregular sizing
- and erratic baselines. As a display font it works at 25 pts
- or larger. Sizes above 50 pts are preferable. Caps only.
- Not kerned. ShareWare $10
- DownWind is a semi psychedelic calligraphic font.
- Works at 20 pts or larger. Nice for posters. Contains
- upper & lower case and numbers. Not kerned. ShareWare $10
- BellBottom is a display font evocative of '60's poster
- art. Try it at 24 points or larger. Looks best at 40 pts
- or larger. Contains upper & lower case, numbers and a few
- special characters. Not kerned.Shareware $10.
- Medusa is based on the familiar Art Nouveau font
- Broklin. It's a display font that looks great at 12 points
- or larger. About 170 characters and 100 kerning pairs are
- defined. ShareWare $10
- LoopDeLoop is a fun display font. Its uppercase
- characters are based on the font Bee Line. They have a
- stroked effect simulating a continuous line, looped to
- create each character. The lowercase characters are a
- solid variation on the shape of the uppercase. This set
- contains only about sixty characters. There is minimal
- kerning. Looks nice as an opening decorative capital.
- Shareware $10.
- Albatross is a text body font with a moderately short
- x-height. The relative point size is a bit small (i.e. 14
- point is closer to what most people would consider 12
- point). It contains all the regular characters and many
- special characters. Shareware $10.
- Judas is a display font patterned on Adobe wood type
- Ironwood. It contains only caps, numbers, and a few
- special characters. It seems to look best at 16 points or
- larger. Very interesting negative space It is
- shareware-$10 (or thirty silver dollars if you want us to
- feel guilty).
- LORVAD fonts include: Bodidly Bold, Oswald Black,
- Oswald Grey, BlackForest, InkaBod, CartWright, Judas,
- Albatross, LoopDeLoop, Medusa, BellBottom, DownWind and
- OxNard.
- These fonts are NOT demos. Unless noted they contain
- all the regular alphanumeric characters. Most contain an
- assortment of special characters. Fonts contain
- ``hinting''; usually over one hundred kerning pairs are
- defined. AFM files are included for kerned fonts. Bodidly
- Bold, Oswald Black, Blackforest, Inkabod, CartWright,
- Judas, Albatross, LoopDeLoop, Medusa, Bellbottom, DownWind,
- and Oxnard are type 1 PostScript fonts and may also be used
- with ATM on non-PostScript printers. Oswald Grey, a type 3
- font, may only be used on PostScript printers. It has an
- 80% grey fill with a black border.
- Bodidly Bold and Oswald Black look great in small or
- large sizes. I'd recommend using Oswald Grey at 24 points
- or larger.
- BlackForest and Inkabod are designed without any
- curves. With one or two exceptions all angles are
- multiples of 45 degrees. BlackForest has an old world
- German feel. It seems to look best about 24 points.
- InkaBod is based on the bitmapped font Nordic. On the
- LaserWriter it looks great at 14 points and above. On the
- ImageWriter, try it at 18 points and larger.
- CartWright is inspired by the Adobe wood type
- Ponderosa font. It contains only the basic 90+ characters.
- The bitmap screenfonts are just your basic
- Fontographer-generated characters with minimal touchup.
- With ATM on the market I'd rather spend my time polishing
- up the PostScript file than slaving over an archaic bitmap
- screenfont.
- LORVAD(R) fonts are distributed in the spirit of
- shareware. Try them out for a month. If you decide to
- keep any of these fonts you are required to send a $10 per
- font registration fee to:

- Please indicate what font(s) you are registering and where
- you found them. Maryland residents should include 5% sales
- tax.
-
- These products may be distributed freely as long as
- the following conditions are met: The files may not be
- modified and this notice must be included with each font or
- group of LORVAD(R) fonts; Fonts may be included on
- collections of Public Domain and Shareware disks providing
- that no more than $10 is charged for the disk.
