Variants of the same letter were on display as well, making the logo something of a Frankenstein. Huddling under the covers with a flashlight late at night and trying to figure out why National thought that deco lettering was perfect for spooky comic book logos. So what's in the package? You get the typeface in TTF and OT flavors, plus a spiffy little PDF specimen book chock full of the ridiculous irreverence you've come to expect from Category4 , including a sneak preview of a retro comic book titling typeface that's waiting in the wings! Overall, the characters have a Herbert Bayer Bauhaus-y feeling, but that's about as close as they came. It was a copy of Forbidden Tales of Dark Mansion, a gothic anthology book put out by National Periodicals. We still really don't get it, but we do still love the letters! We made a few slight fixes, added a whole bunch of punctuation, acccents, and a few European glyphs and voila Forbidden Type of Dank Mansion! A time without stress or strife, when we were all brothers and sisters and comics were groovy, man The 1970's! Hopefully we'll see you in a month for the release of another face! Oh, the nine-year-old joy that cover brought back to us! They really stood out on the spinner rack back then, when most funnybooks sported bespoke, hand-lettered logos, here was this unfathomable monstrosity that looked as if someone grabbed the nearsest sheet of Letraset dry-transfer letters they could find and knocked this logo out before their coffee was finished! Well, folks, we're glad you asked! That's it for now, folks! Forbidden Type of Dank Mansion is a blast from the art deco past! Browse online, download a free PDF, or even buy a solid print copy for less scratch than a decent sandwich! Perhaps that was the reason it was on a gothic horror comic? Regardless, we figured, "Hey, here's half the alphabet how hard could it be to infer the rest?" Well, not very hard at all! Yes, the 1970's deco revival, or rather, re-revival. You can't beat a deal like that! Who knows?! You may know them as DC Comics! But if you're still on the fence about Forbidden Type of Dank Mansion , you can head over to and take a gander at the specimen book. Ever since the Sixties, art deco lettering has made a comeback every ten years or so, and when we ran across the inspiration for this typeface, we thought we'd get in on the ground floor of the next deco revival before it got too crowded oops too late. Until then, have fun, be nice, and remember: At Category4 , things could be worse! Anyway, we ran across an old comic book in our closet, hidden underneath that heavy briefcase that our buddy DB Cooper asked us to hold for him. Wait, what? A long-gone age of reason and logic, a simpler time when neighborly was the thing to be! A modern re-imagining of a retro re-interpretation of a vintage modern typeface!
