If anyone would like to continue collaborating on this thread, more power to you, but MikeW hasn't check in here publicly in a while and Big Frank hasn't been here in months, and these are the only two typography-savvy members I know of, so I'll do what I've always done with typefaces. I design them, build them, and then give 'em away.

If any one would like to help me trace off the patterns, PM me, okay? I'm not going to begin until I have a major project out of the way in April. The above is but a small example of the native art I've been able to collect.

My Best,

Gary
I haven't checked into this thread because, well, several reasons. But hey, I'll send an email. I just finished a couple more fonts I had been fixing and working on for another font business. Itchin' for more.
