| Regular visitors will be aware that I have a strange fascination with obscure crap, and also that some of my best ideas come to me purely by coincidence in the course of strenuous and inevitably futile attempts to realise something completely different. This was very much so with this page: In looking for a particular symbol on the character map I couldn't help noticing how much strange shit there is in that font... here are some of the ones that caught my eye, in small preview and standard size, including the answers I came up with when repeatedly asking myself the crucial question "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?" | |
