Odd title, but I’ve come across a font that looks like a tree from those plastic models. Has anyone seen this before?

Trying to attach, but keep getting this error.

That’d be Nick Curtis’ Tucson Two Step.

The inspiration was a luggage sticker from a Tucson Hotel per Nick’s ReadMe. Thanks to Sander de Voogt’s archive of all things Nick, we can read these references any time and, for some fonts, even see images of the original material.

I give up, I just give up…

Mike, how can you be so incredibly good!?!

Nice of you to say that, Yves, but every time you incredible guys ID a text face I know exactly where I stand on the skill ladder. My little niche here concerns the stuff that’s fallen by the wayside - often for good reason (but I do like this little gem. I just wish it had been made with one case free of the rails and posts).

I guess that’s the strength of this Board — everybody has his/her area of expertise, and I suppose we all occasionaly get blown away whenever something gets identified that is not in our own personal niche.

Rarely do you guys miss. I am always impressed. Thanks again.
