In order to raise some money to continue funding soupablog.com, I'm going to start selling my own handwriting typefaces right here. And the first one is out of the gate and running:
My first experimental typeface is SoupBold, a single-weight TrueType font (works on Mac and PC). It has just shy of 100 characters*, the uppercase register is one version of my all caps handwriting; the lowercase is simply an alternate set of all caps characters. If this proves successful, future releases will cost slightly more, but will feature international characters and eventually, proper hinting, kerning settings.
Please consider purchasing your copy today for only U.S. $5, via PayPal or your favorite Credit Card using my PayPal storefront, below, and include your email address; I'll ship the .ttf file to you as a ZIP attachment in an email.
To Install SoupBold (TTF):
Windows
-Double-click the Fonts icon in the Control Panels folder.
-Drag the font file into the Fonts window to install your font.
MacOS X 10.3 or later
-Double-click the font file. A sample of your font will be displayed.
-Click the Install Font button to install your font.
-Or drag-n-drop onto Linotype or Suitcase font applications.
MacOS X pre-10.3
Drag the font file into the Fonts folder in your personal Library folder.
this is very cool.

SoupBold will be the typeface 'identity' for our next series at our place.

Paul, sorry for the delay on posting your feature. We had some proxy server issues.
While I'm typing this, the national debt has gone up a whole lot. I think it must be clearing my entire annual salary in like .001 seconds.
