Imagine my surprise when I saw my face at the Post Office. Typeface, that is. A very prominent use of Felt Tip Roman.

Felt Tip Roman is being used very effectively on this series of young adult novels by British writer Louise Rennison. There are at least five of them, but these two are my favorites.

There must be something very “teen angst” about Felt Tip Roman. It keeps showing up on teen fiction titles like this. Looks good, although I see they didn’t like my cap I.

My sister Ellen paints and her husband Randall sings. I helped them both with their websites, including doing the lettering for Randall’s logo. [Update: Randall’s site no longer exists so I linked to his YouTube page instead.]
