February 1991Notes on LORVAD (formerly Printers Devil) fonts:
LoopDeLoop is a fun display font. Its uppercase characters are
based on the font Bee Line. They have a stroked effect simulating
a continuous line, looped to create each character. The lowercase
characters are a solid variation on the shape of the uppercase.
This set contains only about sixty characters. There is minimal
kerning. Looks nice as an opening decorative capital. Shareware
$10 Albatross is a text body font with a moderately short x-
height. The relative point size is a bit small (i.e. 14 point is
closer to what most people would consider 12 point). It contains
all the regular characters and many special characters. Shareware
$10. Judas is a display font patterned on Adobe wood type
Ironwood. It contains only caps, numbers, and a few special
characters. It seems to look best at 16 points or larger. Very
interesting negative space It is shareware-$10 (or thirty silver
dollars dollars if you want us to feel guilty). LORVAD fonts
include: Bodidly Bold, Oswald Black, Oswald Grey, BlackForest,
InkaBod, CartWright, Judas, Albatross, Dedalus, and LoopDeLoop.
These fonts are NOT demos. Unless noted they contain all the
regular alphanumeric characters. Most contain an assortment of
special characters. Fonts contain "hinting"; usually over one
hundred kerning pairs are defined. AFM files are included. Bodidly
Bold, Oswald Black, Blackforest, Inkabod, CartWright, Judas,
Albatross, and Dedalus are type 1 PostScript fonts and may also be
used with ATM on non-PostScript printers. Oswald Grey, a type 3
font, may only be used on PostScript printers. It has an 80% grey
fill with a black border. Bodidly Bold and Oswald Black look great
in small or large sizes. I'd recommend using Oswald Grey at 24
points or larger. BlackForest and Inkabod are designed without any
curves. With one or two exceptions all angles are multiples of 45
degrees. BlackForest has an old world German feel. It seems to
look best about 24 points. InkaBod is based on the bitmapped font
Nordic. On the LaserWriter it looks great at 14 points and above.
On the ImageWriter, try it at 18 points and larger. CartWright is
inspired by the Adobe wood type Ponderosa font. It contains only
the basic 90+ characters. The bitmap screenfonts are just your
basic Fontographer-generated characters with minimal touchup. With
ATM on the market I'd rather spend my time polishing up the
PostScript file than slaving over an archaic bitmap screenfont.
LORVAD fonts are distributed in the spirit of shareware. Try them
out for a month. If you decide to keep any of these fonts you are
required to send a $10 per font registration fee to: LORVAD PoBox
1828 Easton Md 21601Please indicate what font(s) you are
registering. Maryland residents should include 5% sales tax. These
products may be distributed freely as long as the following
conditions are met: The files may not be modified and this notice
must be included with each font or group of LORVAD fonts; Fonts
may be included on collections of Public Domain and Shareware
disks providing that no more than $10 is charged for the disk.
Distribution by electronic BBS is allowed. If you paid for a disk
with any of these fonts you are still required to send in your
registration fee if you decide to keep them.The Bottom Line: We
will continue to release laser fonts in a non-crippled format as
long as there is a fair response to the registration fee.
