I first noticed the fabulous fat typeface used on the Golden Gate Bridge when my daughter Kerry visited last year. I instantly loved it. I took this picture with the thought that I might use the typeface in a future design. Well, it turns out that I don’t need to go through all the trouble of painstakingly recreating each character, because it’s already been done! Allow me to introduce you to Chuck! You’ll find this many other gorgeous fonts at the Parkinson Type Design web site. Be sure to peruse his impressive collection of Typographic logos. I guarantee that you will see several familiar faces. Marvel at the power and the beauty of type!

(By the way, ANY of these splendid typefaces would make a superb gift for that very special dude or dudette in your life. 🙂
