Faithful Fly
Drawn by: David Sagorski (1994)
Here we see the erratic path of the fly in the jazzy stroke of the thin letterforms. And check out the little halos! V holy.
Fobia
Drawn by: Daryl Roske (1994)
The aesthetic of 90s phobia was defined by the harsh, scratching, uncomfortable contortions that recall the bristle of a tarantula's hairy arm. Eek!
Catastrophe

awwwwwwwwwwwww…..!! Cats have eternally been of the utmost importance to all networked computer culture. Here is some adorable evidence of that fact.
Entropy
Drawn by: Stephen Farrell (1993)
A deconstructed blackletter font—the story, in type, of the ancient scribe’s entropicizing slog into the digital age. Perfect for use in weightless tomes of deep spiritual journeying.
Mo Funky Fresh STD 
Draw by: David Sagorski (1993)
The swirly and furry nature of this classic font assert that an authentic experience of a groovy lyfestyle is one that is both highly tactile and full of easy motion. Much like walking down the street with your arm around your sweetie, sharing headphones.
This has been a quick pu pu platter of some excellent (early) 90s font treats brought to you by Ben Van Buren of Yonkers International Press. Wishing you great success with all your electronic publishing gymnastics. Have fun!
