Did I do something wrong like 4 at a time, or is Bright Ideas a taboo subject, or I have somehow completely stumped all the experts with this?

I’m especially interested in the first one.

Neither of them rings a bell. :^/

Bright Ideas has been defunct for some time now and their fonts have fallen off the radar. Someone with a much longer font history than I told me once that the Bright Ideas fonts were pretty much all highly derivative of precursors.

Most of those precursors, though, were not digital or aren’t around any more. I really like Sebastian. It and Shardee, at least, are floating around on the Web.
