Evil Vampire Шрифт

When I was studying graphics at art school in the early 1980s, I was a big fan of Piet Schreuders; he is a typophile with a flawless taste for bad typography, designer of gorgeous magazines like Aloha, Furore and the Poezenkrant. Schreuders was one of the first to recognise the beautiful imperfections of type designs from pulp publications and cheap advertisements of the decades before. And you could see he took immense pleasure in using all those fonts in his designs.

As I got older and had more free time, I started designing typefaces myself and many times that fascination with old wrong and ugly type turned out to become a good motivation for me to make more fonts. I like useless crap :) I've never reconstructed or redesigned existing fonts btw, I just remember the fonts I once saw, keep them in the back of my mind and then make my own design from scratch.

This Evil Vampire font started out as that. A bit weird blocky italic typeface that I remembered from the 1920's to the 1940's magazines. I hope you can use it, and do send me samples of what you've made! Cheers!
