Showpony Sans

Showpony Sans is a font made from the all-caps block handwriting of my friend Dawn Taylor. Great for 1,001 household uses!

My friend Dawn posted a picture recently of her “Rules for Living,” and I looked at it and thought, “Now that’s some damn fine printing.” So I asked if I could make a font from her handwriting, and she said yes!

This font contains two full all-caps alphabets, so you can mix and match for variety. It also has 15 common double-letter ligature pairs (set to the lowercase letters), numbers, lots of punctuation, and over 200 accented characters for multi-language support. Plus two underline swashes mapped to the greater-than and less-than keys.

I’ve created the font in both OTF and TTF file formats, but as always, I recommend installing the OTF unless you have a piece of software that’s a butthead about using only TTF files.
