"not all signpainters are pinstripers"

"not all shoemakers make shoes"

yoo rock bubbbba!

an old paint fan!!!

The font is obviously tongue-in-cheek, but I think there are some "sign makers"(used very loosely!) who love this font! I have seen a couple here in my town (ironically, mostly auto repair places)

Here is the description of the font courtesy of Chank Fonts:
---------------------------------
"The Swedish alphabetician Core came to visit Minneapolis last year
to serve as artist-in-residence at the Chankstore. When he left
us, he bequeathed upon us a photographic memento, a picture he
took of his favorite piece of hand-painted signage in Minneapolis.

The picture was of a place called Lowery Auto, which featured a
clumsy, hand-painted, sign on a cinderblock wall. It was a chunky,
blocky, irregular, 3D kind of lettering, with all the shadows
falling at different angles. It was goofy but charming, like
a drunk cousin at a wedding showing off his pitiful dance moves.

Now in 2001, our current artist-in-residence, Mr. David Buck,
similarly fell in love with the photograph and created a font inspired
by it. "People aren't gonna believe this is a real photo. Nobody would
paint such a dodgy sign for their shop," he said. Believe it or not,
it's true. Enjoy this ugly duckling font and use it often...
