  Anyone know where I can find it (anyone have it?) I know, I know, it's a horrible font, but it's for a birthday card I'm doing for a friend...

  It is custom by Ben Drury. Its just a H&V grid + 45º elements. I think he named the letterstyle Fuki Norful so may be worth calling to ask if its also available as a font.

  • "Is that Fuki Norful typeface you did for Dizee Rascal available to buy please?"– Spookyhome1/2

    hahaha. That took a minute to register!– ian2/2

  Thanks for the help everyone, I guess I might have a crack at re-drawing it myself, certainly don't want to pay for it, if such a font exists, as it would be one expensive card!

  Favours for Favours:

  I'll draw out the lettering you need, and in return, you fix the leaking apex channel on my roof that's causing the unsightly brown damp stain on the bathroom wall, and then replaster the wall, and then repaint the wall.

  • Get Rod Hull in.– Jnr_Madison1/14

    Deal, although your also sounds like a bit of a typographic issue 'Apex'– uncle_helv2/14

    I heard Emu pushed him!!!!– uncle_helv3/14

    I had Rod Hull in once. He's a wonderful lover you know. Very sensitive.– Spookyhome4/14

    well...

    ...he does have a lot of experience having his hand up a bird.– kelpie6/14

    *and the crowd goes wild– kelpie7/14

    *bows– kelpie8/14

    *retires victorious– kelpie9/14

    9/10, fisting was also a viable alternative.– Jnr_Madison10/14

    I didn't think fisting went well with 'very sensitive'. perhaps I'm wrong– kelpie11/14

    you have a point. I take it back.– Jnr_Madison12/14

    From what I know about fisting, 'sensitive' is the first requirement. You can't just punch your way up.– Spookyhome13/14

    hahahahaha– kelpie14/14

  Neverblink, it needs to say

  "Sorry you've been laid off you old Rascal"

  Could you fix that? Also, can you make it a bit more "Leona Lewis" but with a bit of "Kaiser Cheifs"

  Don't lose the Dizee Rascal feel though, we do like that.

  Thanks.

  Is it done yet?

  • a bit of Kaiser Cheifs? chortle!– ian
