Finally, a graphic display font for advertisers, DTPers, and others who don't want a lot of fonts loaded in their System Folder when all they want to do is convey the thought "SAVE" or "SALE." After studying font usage, I found many trying to get across the simple, basic concept of selling in a new and refreshing way — especially, by using the most used words of the marketing trade, "save" and "sale."
SavesAndSales consists of two basic concepts. First, advertisers tend to use "save" or "sale" in ads as an eye-catching attention getter. Secondly, they use a set of "heavy" numbers to announce prices, percents or any kind of savings or hot deals.
SavesAndSales is, as you will find, a font that fulfills both needs. The word "Save" is designed in 26 different styles. All you have to do is type any Cap from A-Z. An "A" will be one design of "Save" as "Z" will be a completely different design of "Save." The design of the word "Sale" corresponds directly with "Save" when you type the lower case letters from a-z. That is; the design of "Save" with a capital "A" keystroke is the same design used for "Sale" when a lowercase "a" is typed.
I've included the very necessary HEAVY numbers, punctuation and symbols. All you need to do is type 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,$,¢,!,%,,,.,and / to get strong, heavy characters.
Combined with a standard text copy of Helvetica and Times, use SavesAndSales to add eye-catching notices to ad display or to convey spontaneous, impulsive "saves," "sales," 100% down and $0/month or 99¢.
Instead of loading up with many, seldom-used specialty fonts, just to type and convey the messages "Save" or "Sale" you can now simply select "SavesAndSales" and select from many eye-catching graphics of the words. An on-screen utility like KeyCaps or freeware "PopChar" by Gunther Blaschek helps in quickly seeing, then selecting the desire character. Works well with ATM. Depending on your system, move printer file to the system folder, and install screen font via SuitCase, DA Mover or to system folder.
Try and ENJOY!.......then if you use it, honor the shareware fee of $13 and note if you're using Type 1 or TrueType. I'd also like to know where you downloaded/obtained the font: AOL, CompuServe, a MacUsers' Group or BBS, Shareware Disk or CD-Service, etc. If you SHARE this font, please include all files and documents in one folder. I'm especially pleased with response from professional DTP users AND MacUser Groups and BBS members.
I currently teach drawing, painting, printmaking, year book DTP, and commercial art to future artists, possibly typographers (alias) high school students; and produce serious art for local, regional and national juried exhibitions, and I golf. I enjoy receiving samples/copies of work in which my fonts are used (an ad, layout, poster, brochure, newsletter etc.). I show the works to students -- they enjoy seeing what real people are really doing in the real world today with computers, DTPublishing and graphic design, especially on a Mac.

History:
Since creating my first font SnyderSpeed Brush (11/91 v.1 upper case only), the encouragement of shareware fees and/or input from users, allowed me to update SnyderSpeed by adding lower case (1/92), plus create OregonWet (on AOL's Nov. 91 top download's list), OregonDry, MarkerFeltThin 2/92, MarkerFeltWide 4/92 (used by Aldus Magazine's "New Comics" article, pgs.18-20 Jly/Aug '92 issue) and StarsAndStripes 7/92; updates to MarkerFelt Thin v2, MFWide v2 and SnyderSpeed Brush v3 9/92; ComicsCartoon 10/92, both top downloads( CToon was featured in Aldus Magazine article March/April '93 p.15); NeedlePointSew 11/92; and MarkerFinePoint 3/93; SavesAndSales 7/93. In Aldus' May/June '93, issue, MarkerFeltThin and MarkerFeltWide were listed as "great,favorite" shareware downloads.
• 1/93 Altsys Corp. (makers of Fontographer) used the MarkerFelt Fonts for a major mail promotion announcing Fontographer for the PC and purchased all of my fonts, also asking for a news article regarding how I use their program to create fonts.
