On 1st September 1939 Germany invaded Poland, a peaceful country that never attacked or threatened its neighbours. The ensuing events lead to a global military conflict lasting for 6 years and costing an estimated 60 million lives. Bombs and Men is my memorial to those who perished needlessly.

I should have used a lot more bombs/human figures/crosses to illustrate the vast scale of that calamity. But I had to consider the limitations of FS. I've managed to create a version you can download in one piece.

This is very moving. As a font it is excellent; as a concept it is a most noble and touching tribute. The sample goes beyond nationalities or borders and reminds us of the terrible loss that war engenders.

I raise my coffee cup in a toast to Frodo7.

this works on many levels. you have masterfully used your excellent icons to construct a remarkable set. the glyphs are effectively designed to convey both the enormity of what it is they represent and the urgency of the message. outstanding. your samples are great.
