So, as we all know, I'm a crappy human being.

I was on Fiverr, looking for an illustrator for a client, and stumbled across various font designers, font finders and font sellers. (The less we discuss the font sellers, the better...'nuff said.) Anyway, I stumbled across one that says he will identify and find ANY font, and deliver the licensed version of it, for $10.

I cannot tell a lie. I could not resist. It's a bit mean, as I already KNOW the name of the cursed thing, but I'll be fascinated to see what he comes up with. I fully expect that he shan't have it (unless some older family member died and left him ninety-trillion font CDs and who-knows-what), but it'll be interesting. As I already know that it's likely fruitless, I'll let him keep the fee anyway, for the labor--but I just could NOT resist.
