Falseidol

A typeface based on bad rubdown lettering taken from 1970s pornographic magazines (that I haven't seen, but if I had i could think of nothing more pathetic than look at typography in a porn mag rather than the images) The original letterforms were trying to mimic a feeling of ‘glamour’ but succeeded in just looking seedy. It seems to have its own beauty though which i tried to convey in this font.
