Sharpie Fumes Serif

Sharpie Fumes Serif is the newest member of the Sharpie Fumes family. Back when I was in design school, B.C. (before computers), we had to hand letter every layout we created. Between the marker fumes in creating these layouts, and the all nighters, we would get pretty loopy. I remember locking a fellow student in his rolling supply locker, and rolling him into the elevator at about 3 am, but I'll save that for another day.

Sharpie Fumes Serif evolved from my early layouts, when a serif font was needed. This would be the rough version to flesh out an ad layout, before creating the finished comprehensive layout, or "comp". Later, in my career, I was able to approximate a serif font pretty quickly while concepting for different projects, and that's where Sharpie Fumes Serif (and the related Sans and Mono versions) came from. It'll give your work a nice, quirky handmade feel, and Sharpie Fumes Serif plays well with its compadres.

Go ahead and give it a try. And guess what movie the two quotes are from, one of my wife and my favorite movies that never gets old.

Available in otf format.
