Topic: Mulholland, or, A Font in Twelve Hours.

Was possessed with the urge to make something on Saturday morning. Needed to lose a day in a new project. I go running around the Hollywood Reservoir sometimes, and always really liked the art deco slab-serif lettering on the dedication plaque at the Mulholland Dam.

So I made it into a font. Which is something I have never done before. It has issues, but for a first attempt at anything majorly typographical, I quite like it. I'll probably be revising it over the week, so please, criticize away, doubly so if you're of a graphical persuasion.

Commented already on Facebook with a nitpick or two, but generally, very cool.

Very charming. It has a hand-crafted, Old Salem feel to it. Very useful for officially declaring people to be witches.

I love the wackiness of a D that is about 1.2 Ms.

Warning: I'm probably rewriting this post as you read it.
