test sig:

 

is that font called OCRB? thats one of my favorites! the sig looks good too btw.

 

I think that's OCR-A (Optical Character Recognition type A)...OCRB has rounded letters...

 

jeez, your a font pro too??

 

Ack..just realized that brinkster doesn't let u link pics like that. Anyone know a good place(with built in ftp)to use for sigs?

 

The font is OCR A Extended.

 

Try managing over 2500+ fonts not fun.........Theres a nice prog I use if you guys would like to check it out: FONTEXPERT. Beats printing and looking threw the catalog. And as far as the font the difference between the OCRA and OCRB. The ocra is slightly harder to read(human eye) and is less curvy then its younger brother ocrb. The reason they introduced osrb was for the difficulty reading ocra. But in return was harder for a machine to read the font. This font has been used for MANY MANY decades. Used by the US mail and the Goverment. Man where does this useless info come from LOL.

 

lol where the hell do u find it is the question.

lol nah i meant the history of the font.

 

Oh yeah dah haha. I just been in the industry along time. And when you had to study FONT FONT FONT. For some reason you gets branded. Not just being a Graphic Designer but also do Desktop publishing. You deal with a wide variety of people they always are clueless of font names and styles that you have to do the brain work for them......Ok I am boring myself haha.....


BTW: Compliments on the SIG...I am hard to impress and that was a really simple clean layout.......2 thumbs up !

 

thx. So since you seem to be a big fonts guru, how did webdings come about? j/k

 

I am gonna make a font test, now its time to see what you're made of!

 

Ok lol lets see what kinda test you have And as far was webdings I dont use them. I am on the print side of the world. And If I am not mistaking webdings are only pc base not MAC. I dont even think I have webdings on my MAC. But as far as I can remember they were create for webdesigners. Easy way to render shapes and simple illustrations.
