ERASURE<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In the continuing tradition of pumping out fonts that are based on album <br />
<br />
covers...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"Erasure" is based on the all-small sans-serif font used on the cover of <br />
<br />
the Erasure albums "Chorus", "Abba-esque" and any subsequent singles.  All <br />
<br />
standard characters are included, the small letters having fractional <br />
<br />
widths and some specially-designed characters for the "connected" pairs <br />
<br />
(re, ur, etc.)  I was going to just do this with kerning pairs, but I <br />
<br />
noticed that there's a bit more to the original type than that.  So I did <br />
<br />
a lot of tinkering in Canvas and Fontographer and the result is pretty <br />
<br />
close.  A few dingbats, like the Erasure "e" logo and the Mute records <br />
<br />
logo are mapped to the "~" key.  The full "erasure" logo is somewhere on <br />
<br />
the "\" key.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So now I'm sure you're asking "what do you want out of all of this?"  The <br />
<br />
answer is, naturally, money, fame and power.   $5 would be nice, but if <br />
<br />
you've got any fame and power you'd like to give me I'll take that too.   <br />

Legalese:  erasure is a font copyright 1993 Eric Oehler for the Kiwi Media <br />
<br />
group.  This font may be distributed freely as long as this notice is <br />
<br />
attatched.  Kiwi Media is in no way related to Kiwi Software (in fact Kiwi <br />
<br />
Media predates them by about 3 years but I'm not going to make a stink <br />
<br />
about it).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There're a lot more fonts out there that I've done.  You can see them all <br />
