Beware The Neighbors is based on “Personality Script”, a rough alphabet originally drawn by Ross F. George, and published in one of the Speedball series of lettering catalogs that ran from 1935 to 1948.

This version also has an extended character set for use in Central as well as and West European countries, plus Baltic, Turkish and Romanian.
