Description:
Feels like years since I've shared my last fontstructions...
This one's been lying around in the private box for quite a while because I didn't find the inner peace to do an extended character set. Originally I just trying to get an acceptable A using a 2x1 filter setting, but somehow it grew to a whole typeface. (That makes any word written in capital letters look like a tobacco brand, hence the name...)

Sample coming after a few hours of sleep!

(My favourite letter is by the way the ß... Inspired by Berlin street signs.)

Hm... Can you use "tasty" for cigarettes? Or is that only for stuff you eat?
English experts please. :)

Excellent work shasta.

I'm sure the American cigarette companies would like to label their goods as tasty, but I doubt the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) would let them. :)

Extremely well executed. Not a bum note in site. Perfectly crafted and very usable..... then there's the superb sample, truly brilliant.

So balanaced, so readable.

As to 'tasty' ... I guess it depends on what you roll with the tobacco :)

Tasty: I guess it, applies to everything you put in your mouth, including non-food items, e.g. toothpaste, chewing gum, tobacco (for chewing). I'm not sure taste is a major factor of the seduction of cigarettes. Nice slab serif, and professional demo pic. 10/10
