About Gum Rally AOE Font Family


Spawned by my love of movie titling comes the Gum Rally AOE family, inspired by the opening of the Gumball Rally film from 1976.

The film contains three unique dot matrix style lettering examples: from the beefy title text which is the regular style of the family, to the Mini style which is only seen in the credits for the word "THE" with decorative marks t the left and right of it, and the Credits style which has unusual cuts taken out of various dot matrix letters and is seen listing the credits of the movie.

I've used screen captures of the movie to faithfully recreate what was seen, and elaborate and expand on what didn't exist. The three fonts are built/scaled so that the dots are the same size across all three fonts when typeset, even though their scale changes. This allows you to uniformly set a mix of the fonts and remain visually consistent in the dot matrix or scale them randomly to your own preference.

In the MINI style, if you want to get those decorative lines, simply typeset the left and right parentheses and turn on the Stylistic Alternates feature.

About Astigmatic

In 1873, the strange and fantastic story began. Nearly two centuries later, Brian J. Bonislawsky was born, and carrying on a mix of the the footsteps his ancestors before him took, he picked up the the traditions and founded the Astigmatic One Eye Foundry, which later expanded to become the Astigmatic One Eye Typographic Institute. (For more of the background story, see the Historical Perspective link below.) Since its founding Astigmatic has worked with dozens of designers, helping them forge their own foundries as well as helping to increase the quality of type created by Astigmatic and these other foundries. Astigmatic strives to continually increase its range of typographic scope; taking on expeditions to revive old typestyles, unearth long lost typefaces, forge new styles yet unseen, and begin to develop more comprehensive language typestyles of the WGL4 set size which includes Greek and Cyrillic extensions. If you are looking for a wide variety of typographic influence and style, the Astigmatic One Eye Institute is your source for type.
