I agree with the Core.
He also rocks and is very good.

Great great great!
There's not a lot of "from el barrio" typefaces well designed like this one.
The only characters who bugs me are I, X, and Z, and perhaps the R can be more "agressive" (like the P), but what a font!

Excellent work! Very evocative. It looks like it wasn't that difficult to make. Perhaps you could do alternates as well - and these might be employed in animating the flame effect.

Fun.

Thanks for the feedback. Although I have some experience in sign painting, and have been doodling with letterforms for many years now, Sotoflame is my first completed digital font.

!!Thanks to bj harvey for font-making tutorials!!

Hi Anthony,

did you do graffiti? I can see certain characteristics in this font. The D,E,G,P,R & S look 'piece' like ;)
I was a graf artist years ago and still love the medium. I think thats where my love for type came from.

brennan - graffiti, huh? so... did you do this remarkable piece?

ehm no... wait... that was me...

hah!... that looks like my garage wall! HEY! ;)

Bren - Yes, graff-art is still the cutting edge for me. Do you know any stores that sell the book 'Urban Discipline 2002' ? It contains some of the wildest styles of this artForm.

Anthony

I will try and find that book. Sounds interesting (I might even get back into it!) ;)
I had an idea for a graph font, but I have to work it a little. I'll show you when its almost ready.

Bren

Martin, you're unique! Ah! Ah! Ah!
