I have been a good many things in my young life — rock star, university lecturer, humanitarian, tech support operator.

But I have also been a font designer. I used to be shy about this, because I thought it made me seem kind of nerdy. But now I tell people, “Yes! I am a font designer! Fonts are decorative and useful. Let us all say huzzah! for fonts.” And they do, somewhat hesitantly.

My font page has been down for a while, but you can still download my fonts from dafont.com. Someday will see the return of the font page.

Every once in a great while, someone decides to use one of the fonts for something cool, and I hear about it. Which is exactly what brought the font thing to mind today. Bulcsu Varhegyi from Hussar Games is using ‘Yataghan’, a font full of long knives, in a game called Pro Libertate! (For Independence!) Main site here, but better screenshot here.

Check out the game, or download the font. So many possibilities.
