PixieFont is a display font that roughly looks like Bodoni must look like after ten or more beers -- an uneven, hand-drawn serif font with a wide variation of thicks and thins. It makes a good specialty font for advertisements when an informal feel is desired or when you want to recreate generic 1950's advertisements from Boys Life or Mechanix Illustrated. The enclosed font is a Type 1 PostScript font, so it works with Adobe Type Manager on non-PostScript printers, as well.

You should also enclose the following letter, typed in whatever font you choose:
Dear Victoria:
Here's some money. $4.99, to be exact. Now it's your move. Would a flashlight be better than velcro? I guess they had to take the wallpaper away. Nothing is going to stop the endless parade of purple. Oops. Gotta go.
Sincerely, (your name here).
PixieFont may be distributed freely as long as all the files contained in this archive are part of the package, and are unaltered. Freeware/shareware companies may distribute the font in whatever manner and form they desire, providing that no unflattering picture of the font's creator is printed.
