I started this one years ago and just now finished it. It is a perfect companion to the ARB-187 Becker font from a few weeks back. Have fun, all-!!!!

Beautiful font Michael!

Not to rain on the parade, Michael, but why are you giving these away? Would it not make more sense to offer them at a discount or incentive with the purchase of another font? Just wondering... [I Don t Know]

Posted by Michael Gene Adkins (Member # 882) on :

Cam,

Actually, this is just my way of giving back to this site. Plus it has never been a concern of mine to get rich off the Becker fonts. I kinda like the promo aspect of them. Still, commercial versions of ARB fonts are and will be available at www.myfonts.com. You'll also notice this is a limited version of ARB 08. You can do almost anything with it that you can do with a fully-optioned font, but when the "for sale" version comes out, users can decide for themselves if they truly need it in their arsenal.

also: people have asked me to keep in contact with them about my font releases, but since email addresses change faster than my ability to track them, all of my font updates are announced @ www.twitter.com/the_fontry

you don't have to sign up for tweets, just visit the page every now and then to see if anything is new.

Thanks Michael, what a treat. This is the firat one I've noticed from you. What font program do you use?? I've been playing with Phontographer, and it has me buggard for spacing. Cheers, Bill

Posted by Warren Schoff (Member # 5527) on :

WOW, Thanks

Posted by Michael Gene Adkins (Member # 882) on :

Bill,

was using fontographer, finally had to retire from it (sigh...) ... now using fontlab ... not quite as friendly, but its ability to set up your spacing is one feature that is vastly superior to fontographer.

arb-187 is still downloading at www.thefontry.com/arb_187

we also have freeware fonts at www.dafont.com

Thanks again Michael.......two in such a short time [Smile]

Posted by Rene Giroux (Member # 4980) on :

Very nice, thanks

[Cool]

Posted by Jay Allen (Member # 195) on :

Sweet . . . just perfect, Michael. All the ARB's have been . . .

Thank you from me as well . . .

Posted by Michael Gene Adkins (Member # 882) on :

Wow ... judging by the numbers on my site counter, this font has been extremely popular, numbering somewhere around the 600+ mark on downloads-!!! That's pretty high for a letterville bullboard posting. Thanks, all-!!! Be sure to tell yer friends and neighbors.

The next Becker font is an athletic block and should be finished in a couple of weeks.

also: you've probably forgotten, but that big becker discovery I mentioned awhile back is still looming on the horizon!!! I'll be spilling the beans on that one very soon.
