SOTT Font

Hello all,

Does anyone have a link the Sign O The Times font?

I had a font pack, many moons ago, but I cannot locate this particular font.

I've tried vaious links but mny are dead. I've also tried using the waybackmachine but zip and ttf files are not archived.

Thanx for reading,

Sam

The lettering on SOTT is not a font, it's all hand drawn. The font file that is in circulation is an extremely poor attempt to create something similar to SOTT letters, but it's horrible.

I doesn't have to be perfect.

I might do a high res scan of the LP cover, and create the font with fontforge, when I have time.

I'm not sure it excist. I mean stopped looking years ago. I use to have maybe a dozen or so fonts, but pretty sure I never found that one.
Maybe someone has it

For sure there must be more of this font used in the SDE boxset...

you can scan that and work from there.

I. Know. That.

You can just work with the 'ART' of letters, and create a 'FONT' of your own....
