ERASURE
In the continuing tradition of pumping out fonts that are based on album
covers...
"Erasure" is based on the all-small sans-serif font used on the cover of
the Erasure albums "Chorus", "Abba-esque" and any subsequent singles. All
standard characters are included, the small letters having fractional
widths and some specially-designed characters for the "connected" pairs
(re, ur, etc.) I was going to just do this with kerning pairs, but I
noticed that there's a bit more to the original type than that. So I did
a lot of tinkering in Canvas and Fontographer and the result is pretty
close. A few dingbats, like the Erasure "e" logo and the Mute records
logo are mapped to the "~" key. The full "erasure" logo is somewhere on
the "\" key.
So now I'm sure you're asking "what do you want out of all of this?" The
answer is, naturally, money, fame and power. $5 would be nice, but if
you've got any fame and power you'd like to give me I'll take that too.

I move a lot, so the best way to contact me would be to email me.
Legalese: erasure is a font copyright 1993 Eric Oehler for the Kiwi Media
group. This font may be distributed freely as long as this notice is
attatched. Kiwi Media is in no way related to Kiwi Software (in fact Kiwi
Media predates them by about 3 years but I'm not going to make a stink
about it).
There're a lot more fonts out there that I've done. You can see them all
on the web at http://yar.cs.wisc.edu/cold/graphics/wonkofonts.html.
Enjoy.
