Sorry I know this is wired, but I need to know this font. I was told "Mexicali" but cannot find it.

Thank you!

It looks like the sort of thing that Margo Chase might do.

Yup, the day after the all night partying, when she's got a terrible hangover, massive co-ordination problems and is half blind from the booze... :^/

Maybe not then :^(

Nick, I fear my joke didn't come across properly. :^)

You're absolutely correct about the similarity with Margo Chase's work, but this logo/typeface is of an appalling quality.

This is some similar stuff by Margo Chase and Adam Roe:

Isn't 'Fitness Pizza' an oxymoron? Where can I get my hands on some pizza that will make me fit!?

The same place you get a cheeseburger that gives you six-pack abs, in Fantasyland. :)

This started out as Herman Ihlenburg's (1882) typeface, Bijou. Fontbank digitized it as Bangle. Then Swfte, one of those companies who put out several "1500 Fonts for a Pittance" CDs full of ripoff clones, modified it to create the goofy font, Mexacali (yes, that spelling is correct).

I can't find Mexacali anywhere but websites full of commercial fonts and ripoffs of same, so I won't link to a copy.

I've revived Ihlenberg's Bijou, available soon at Type Heritage Project. Bangle was garbage, of course, like a gazillion other faces. What a shame.
