There are times when I have stumbled on to sign lettering that I have made fonts from.
From a picture in a Belgium magazine I built the font family called Roberta (named for my daughter).
I did some promotion with the font using some Spanish phrases. Mexican food Company started using Roberta for their logo as well as the city of Carson adopted the font for their street signs.
As yet, no computer font has been made, Dan X. Solo has promised to digitize it for Dover Publications.
「ロベルタ」は、1958年に生まれたボブさんの娘の名前を冠したフォント。
