@billgoats There was a great QuickDraw GX font called Jam I used to love - a sort of worn typewriter effect.

I think I converted it into a plain TrueType font using Fontographer or one of the dev tools at the time, but even if I did, the only backup is on a Zip disk, and I’ve no Zip drive.

There’s now an exciting quest that lies ahead of me in terms of tracking down lots of obscure software and emulators - the grand prize being, in retrospect, what transpires to be a rather mundane font. 🤔

@middaparka @billgoats Jam was designed by Erik van Blokland (@letterror) and was known for its implementation of GX variations. It currently lives on in the form of the variable typeface “Neither Confirm Nor Deny”.

@middaparka @billgoats A bit more backstory on the NCND FAQ page:

@letterror That would be amazing. Otherwise, I fear I’ll have to find a means of reading this bad-boy, if indeed it’s not succumbed to bitrot.

Damn, seeing it again in that Vimeo video takes me back.

NCND looks stunning as well. 🙌

@splorp @letterror That’s very kind, but I’m in the UK - even if it currently works, I suspect that might not be the case by the time it arrives.

Still, it could be worse - it could be a SyQuest. 😃

I think I’ll see if I can pick-up a USB Zip drive locally, if only out of curiosity.

@middaparka Yes, that would be a bit of a trek to Canada for a poor little Zip disk.

(By the way, I can also handle Syquest, SyJet, SuperDisk, Bernoulli, and Jaz.)
