Actually, it'(wa)s some kind of trend: Diamonds, Evolette A, Lightyears, many ones at TenDollarFonts (TWOFACED, Echelon, Rathe, Parqa, Fonecian, Finding 57, Harf 77, Labieno, Positano, Marina, Alumia...)

BTW, who runs TenDollarFonts? Their domain registration is covered up.

Best I can come up with (using NeoTrace) is "Special Domain Services" in Scottsdale, AZ. Registered via GoDaddy.

Or, as noted on their website:

"Daniel McQueen - Owner of Ten Dollar Fonts"

Thank you.
