MTV has a penchant for the bespoke. I'd guess it is custom.

I looked it up: 'bespoke'= Heavily customised or written from scratch to meet the customers requirements.

:^P Eben, you had to look that up? Or, are you making fun of my use of it?

I TOTALLY had to look it up and I am not making even an iota of fun. But I figured if I wasn't sure maybe other people... etc.

I'm such a sucker for that schoolbook naive shadow look and often have to find good reasons not to use it, still haven't got over lo-fi

That looks totally custom/drawn in and scanned.

But I'm sure the interweb has plenty of similarly styled extruded handritten blocky text...

A quick search on myfonts yielded this:

Is F Santo Domingo (FUSE 13 - Superstition) good enough for ya?

Thanks, that's brilliant.

We might end up using it for various typesetting jobs so I'd like to get a version with the black fill - but not sure if it's possible. Maybe able to achieve this with Font editing software? Not my area of expertise.

Cheers,

Blockhead, from Emigre is similar without the cross-hatching

This is the place to ask for that expertise if you decide you want it.

There's also a similar one called Action Jackson, I believe from Divide By Zero.

Tiff, ditto here. Don't forget there are quite a few non-native speakers visiting Typophile. ;^)

Thanks for looking that up, Eben. :^)

But 'bespoke' is being used by a lot of people now. Although I was being a tad sarcastic by using it, I was still serious. (For a change.)

O:^)

I'm a native English speaker, and I didn't know it. But I'm going to use it now!

You must run in a fun crowd Tiff! Cheers.

Maybe one could go so far as to say 'MTV has a penchant for the tawdry'
