My first thought upon seeing it was, "This would be a pretty cool title (and type treatment) for a microgame... if there wasn't already a microgame named Goblin."
My second thought was, "That kind of looks like the type that Rick Griffin did for those Grateful Dead posters in the late 60s and early 70s."
I suppose that if someone wants to start a zine named "Goblin," I might be persuaded to clean up the original image and convert it to a vector file.
That's really cool.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to get my mitts on that font.
ReplyDelete@Justin: Unfortunately, being hand-drawn, it would be tough to get anything exactly like it (especially outlined).
ReplyDeleteThere's a free font called biergarten with multiple weights that has a similar feel (though not the same detail in structure); BTW, biergarten as a font has no capital letters: http://www.dafont.com/biergarten.font
You can get Haenel Fraktur (which is similar, but a bit more "mechanical" and less "organic" - does not have outline, but could be added in Illustrator) for $25: http://www.fonts.com/font/rmu-typedesign/haenel-fraktur/regular?SiteId=15
You can get the Rick Griffin Contour family (which isn't the same, but has the same feel) for about 17 bucks: http://www.fonts.com/font/k-type/rick-griffin-contour/family?SiteId=15
