Is it Really So Strange?


How many languages can you read? Can you read "dingbat"? A British design firm designed recruitment posters for a new hire with all the text set in various dingbat typefaces! They figured only a typographic-master would get it and bother to decode the posters. Read about it here.

Decode them yourself and find out what they say, type-boy (or girl)!

    hmmm...is P22 coming out with a new font? 'Transparent Motive Open Face' perhaps? Cuz' if so this dingbat is buying!

    [I like my fonts to read between the lines.]

    I think 'Hobo Bold" was one of the only 25 fonts I had available during the Sign O' The Times era.

    Of course we also rocked the following 'hot' 1991 display fonts:
    > Comic Book Two
    > Graphik Shadow
    > Dyno Bold
    > Ad Serif Bold
