I think that Postscript type 3 might be able to handle the colors. Or it could be produced as a layered face, with each face in the family layered and hit with a different color.
Too bad the OpenType standard doesn't have any support for shading & color. An OTF pro version of this would officially be The Greatest Font Of All Time. posted by luriete at 9:50 PM on April 20, 2008
This amused me for a few minutes while doing homework late at night... thanks. posted by Zephyrial at 9:53 PM on April 20, 2008
I want to see people with "i" and "o" in real life. posted by lilkeith07 at 10:03 PM on April 20, 2008
I predict that in seven years this font will have entirely replaced Times New Roman. posted by dgaicun at 10:07 PM on April 20, 2008 [1 favorite has favorites]
OK Americans- Fucking stop with calling all people of the British Isles "British". Do you mean English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish?
It happens all the time - "Oh, like he spoke with a British accent" there is NO British accent.
In the case of the beard font, I suspect you mean Scots or perhaps Irish, as English people cannot grow proper beards- fact. posted by mattoxic at 6:16 AM on April 21, 2008

Umm... First off, if you live in Great Britain, I am going to refer to you as a British person. You know that 300 continuous years of union you've got going would seem to take the controversy out of that one. Besides, if I hear French (of the non-Quebecois variety) I don't differentiate between where they are from. It is enough to simply say French. A British Accent is seemingly large category, but no different than saying American Accent, which also covers a wide swath of dialects.

OK.
This wins top prize for being the most irresistible can't-not-click fpp.
Though saying that, I was disappointed in the actual product. I was expecting something... more bristle-y. posted by Durn Bronzefist at 6:33 PM on April 21, 2008
I remember a guy at the international beard competition in brighton, england, who said he was taking photos of beards saying he was making a font...is that you?

Oh...I feel very foolish asking this, but how does one acquire this font? Is it downloadable, or just for us to look at? posted by Locative at 12:09 AM on April 23, 2008
