Typophile

Since the above-linked prior Typophile thread about Too Much, I came across a copy of the only version I'm aware of of Too Much (solid) and Too Much Outline. This is from WSI, a firm that sells lots of mostly knock-off-clone fonts to software companies which, in turn, bundle them with their applications.

The fonts were named Chubby by WSI and, since this is apparently not available from anyone else, I'm linking to the solid Chubby � sold under the Fonts On The Web banner.

The old Image Club collection Grant mentioned had the Solid, Outline, and Shadow versions of Too Much, but as stated you'd have to find one of the old Letterpress CD's for sale (I have Letterpress 5.0 and 6.0, which both have it). The typeface was originally from Visual Graphics Corp.

(BTW, I'm back from vacation, but still swamped with e-mails and an order backlog, so I may show up only sporadically for a while.)

Welcome back Mike you were much missed

Thanks Dan. I really missed being part of this group, so I'm looking forward to getting back into it.

(Southern Italy was a fun tour, and we had a great time, but I had to resist saying the names of typefaces I saw on signs and posters. They used Belwe, Revue, B�cklin and Bauhaus in a lot of shop signs and roadside advertising. I was struck by how little custom lettering I saw used -- except for things that were hand-lettered by obvious amateurs. It was like a typographic tour of the late 80's and early 90's. Probably 90% of the fonts could have been from the Adobe Portfolio.)

Oh yeah, and the cities, museums, churches and ruins were great. The people were generally very friendly, the countryside was beautiful, and the pizza was terrific.

And my previous offers still stand. I have several 'vintage' LetterPress discs available should anyone be looking. Contact me through my profile.
