Benighted Font

March 4, 2011

Each week as I tell you about a new font, I try to tell a story about why it was chosen. This week my search for a font began with no specific type of font in mind. As I looked around, I just liked the look of the Benighted font. Unfortunately I don’t have a great story to go along with it. Download it, play with it and then post a comment with your story for this font.

I’m a huge fonts enthusiast (maybe because i have to work with fonts on daily basics). I find your idea of “one font each with” with an interesting story attached, a great idea. I’m usually downloading the fonts i need from websites such http://www.fontineed.com without thinking at something like a story for them. Your approach is more than interesting 🙂
