Violation is a font based on the scrawly cursive of music photographer Anton Corbjin. This most notably appears on the covers of Depeche Mode's "Violator" album (hence the name), the subsequent video "Strange Too", and in a modified form on U2's "Achtung Baby." It's kinda chunky, psychadelic, and sort of heavy for a script, but it looks nifty, which is why I turned it into a font.
This font is based off of scans of individual letters, which were then modified slightly to adjust widths and weights. All small letters, the unshifted letters are "lower" cursives, which connect at the baseline, and the caps are "higher" cursive, connecting midway (for connecting o, t, f, etc to something).
And now, the pitiful shareware plea:
please contact me via email to get my latest snailmail address, and then you can send me $5 for this. My address is :

I'll keep making fonts as long as it is lucrative :-).
