Car Lust -- the Font???

On a recent visit to a website offering free font downloads, I noticed that one of the fonts on offer was called "Ugly Cars." Curious, I clicked the link and . . .oh, WOW!

 

"Ugly Cars" is a font in which all of the letters of the alphabet have been replaced with line drawings of automobiles. It could just as easily been called "Car Lust Bold Italic," because the cars involved are the sort of offbeat, quirky, interesting rides that we gravitate toward--only some of which truly qualify as ugly. The font includes the Citroen Ami 6, AMC Gremlin, VW Thing, Chrysler PT Cruiser, Bond Bug three-wheeler, and Sebring-Vanguard CitiCar. (No SsangYong Rodius, fortunately.)

The font is the work of Galdino Otten, a very talented Brazilian graphic artist. You can see samples of his other work--magazine covers, ads, cartoons, and at least one other font--at his blog here. That's one of his illustrations at right.

If you want to download the font, go here. While the font is free, there's a PayPal link that allows you to make a donation to Mr. Otten to show your appreciation if you are so inclined.
