Hype For Type - The Font
Jon’s font for the previously-blogged Hype For Type project is officially making the rounds. You can spot it as the current splash page for Jon’s website and at Hype For Type’s site, where they have this little interview posted:
Q: Where did the idea for the Burgerman font come from?
A: I wanted to make a font that was fun and suggested personalities and characters for each letter and symbol.
Q: Tell us about the end result?
A: Well, I think I made what I set out to make. It’s fun to write naughty words with it.
Q: Overall, do you think it’s been a success?
A: That’s really down to the people who are going to use the font. I’m really happy with it, I’d like to make more fonts in the future too.
