Holy poo poo that is seriously every single printed document my company imports from China. You must do business with China pretty often...

All of the fonts that immediately jumped to mind didn't distinguish Zeros and O's, but I managed to find something suitable, don't know if it's the best for what you want though.

It's called Collator

Anybody have any alternatives to the Ralph Steadman (Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) style font? I'm working with a new band called Filthy Beast, and they like that style, but I don't want to bite that style too hard. I feel it'll detract from their unique sound.

Their whole appeal is this weird desert-rock pulp style grit.

Any ideas?

How much type are you setting in that font?
You might be smart just to pick up a bunch of paper and a calligraphy pen + ink, and go to town yourself.

That's my main plan right now, I haven't had too much time to work on it lately though. I'm trying to talk the band into straying away from the Steadman style, I don't think it's a good marketing move at all especially not long term.

I get so pissed when I look at an email I sent to a co-worker on their PC, and my loving teal papyrus 16pt email shows up as some loving Verdana bullshit. ESPECIALLY when I sign with bright blue comic sans and an animated gif of the CUTEST emoticon!

Or like on MSN when my authentic typewriter font doesn't show up on their PC and only mine... I downloaded these for a reason!

I'm digging this Quadon font that was posted on Behance:

Pretty good introductory pricing deal too.

Holy poo poo that is the China go-to font. Everything we import from there has that loving font.

I'd seriously buy a 'fine art print' of yours Jenkins, that's awesome.
