Hey tumblr friends, in case I haven't told you lately, I have no idea what the FUCK half of you are on about and I WISH I didn't know what the rest of you are on about. Great work. Keep it up.

There's now an entry for The Muppet Show Book on Fonts In Use, which might be easier to read than a long tumblr post.

The Muppet Show Book was published in 1978 by Harry N. Abrams, Inc. The book adapts material from the first two seasons of The Muppet Show,

Also, Vincent Price's font has now been identified as Round Rosie (circa 1973) [Daylight Fonts · Fonts In Use]:

#I don't know if my ask led to this but I would be very happy if this was a case of me setting up a domino

It was your ask that led to this.

Omg!!! A while ago I was playing around with designing a font made with alternating triangles like this, although in my case it was equilateral triangles so the letterforms were VERY goofy and not at all practical. Just the most novelty of novelty fonts for shits and giggles. Like this font, my design had at least two different versions for each character so that they could be kerned in a zigzag. I'm delighted to see that someone else had the same idea and executed it much more skilfully than me.
