What font is used for Sign o the Times...

"So strange that no one stayed at the end of the Parade..." - Wendy & Lisa's "Song About" on their 1987 self-titled album.

The Sign O' the Times font doesn't exist.
The letters were hand drawn especially for the album.

I'm sure someone did create a font based on the Sign O'
The Times writing a while back, but I haven't seen it
around for a long while. It didn't really look that good
though, because there was only one version of each letter.
Whereas on the album, each letter is drawn slightly
differently each time it appears, because it wasn't
technically a 'font'.

Yeah, there was one made, it's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.

I'm sure you can still find it on the web.

Have a dig round somewhere like Dawnation.
