Nov 18 2010Use The Fonts, Luke: Star Wars Typography
Alternatively, "Luke, I am your fonter." God I hate myself for that. And, well, pretty much everything else I've ever done. Anyway, because some Geekologie Readers have to go home and give themselves glitterstim enemas if I don't meet their daily quota of Star Wars posts, here's a small gallery (read: three pictures) of characters created entirely out of different fonts by Italian ad firm H-57 Creative Station. This is Darth Maul or somebody here, but there's a Cylon and a Fraggle after the jump. Huh? ARE YOU QUESTIONING MY GEEK CREDENTIALS?! Fine -- fine, this is Darth Vader, and there's a Stormtrooper and Yoda after the jump. What isn't after the jump is the X-Wingding Fighter I just spent two hours making in Photoshop. I'll email you a copy for $1 though. Ass Xerox for $2.
Hit the jump for the other two.

Well, that settles it. McFeely managed to get semi-indirectly mentioned in the context of a GW article. No sense in the rest of us commenting from this point onward; we cannot hope to achieve anything greater.

I'm not sure what "glitterstim" is, but yeah, some people are real Star Wars freaks around here. buncha homos if you ask me.
that being said (and it needed to be), this is a big "so what". Once you decide to turn the font glyphs any which way you like, you're just making shapes out of shapes. ASCII art has been FAR more creative and difficult to do for 30 years.

High five Naas!

Darth Vader is quite a character.
8. truthBEknown - November 18, 2010 5:42 PM
Flowing mane of hair? No one else refers to their pubes as a flowing mane of hair perv...

The Darth Vader one is WRONG!
Darth Vader has one triangular shape on his mask near his mouth, not two as the "W" suggests. The creator should have used a big V.

These are not the fonts you're looking for.
(had to be said)
11. Leftover cupid - November 18, 2010 5:55 PM
Your mom has a big V.
12. Tyler Mains' Mom - November 18, 2010 5:58 PM
@11 maybe you're opinion would differ if you had a big D

Looks like someone's mom (notice the V).
15. Leftover junk - November 18, 2010 6:14 PM
@12 No, I don't think so. I could be hung like hickory's dickery dock and still have room to swing.
16. Leftover stool - November 18, 2010 6:16 PM
@ Dishy, it's not big enough. Trust me, @ 9 knows.

18. Max Boivin - November 18, 2010 6:24 PM
@9, Can't you make the difference between an 'M' and a 'W'?
19. Juniper - November 18, 2010 7:24 PM
I'm going to have to throw my hat in with Tyler, that mouth is obviously an upside down W, not an M, as shown by the horizontal bar over the peak in the center.

ZOMG How did they know we all would want fitness systems, women's clothing and fancy powersuits whilst eating cheetos, drinking mountain dew and commenting on a Star Wars font post on a site labeled "Geekologie"?! Targeted Advertising FTW!
Clearly this should not have been on the chick pounding meat post....

Hrm, this is neat. I should consider a typography scupting game thing. But so far I have a bacon one.
