I've posted this elsewhere in other U2 forums, but have been waiting for my membership here to be authenticated so I could share the love.
I've been a U2 fan since I was 13 (err, let me do the math... that was back in 1989, or so). Anyhow, I loved U2 before Achtung Baby and, in fact, wasn't really sure about the whole re-invented U2 that came about with Achtung. Needless to say, it didn't take long to come around to the new style of music. It now stands as one of my favorite all-time albums.
With the 20th anniversary of Achtung Baby, a lot of fans put together their own artwork for the CD covers of the Deluxe CD set, etc. However, something was always missing from the artwork...
After hunting high and low and finding nothing suitable—and after noting that a lot of people have been looking for something like this...
I have, for my fist post EVER, decided to make the following announcement:
Please note the following:
There is a .txt file within the zip file (see links below) that goes into much more detail on this font. Feel free to read it.
This is not a perfect font - nor is it nearly as comprehensive in its abilities as I would like. If U2 uses a font (and there's at least some evidence this is the case since exact characters are sometimes used in separate pieces of artwork), theirs is much more capable than mine. This was my first attempt ever at creating a font (let alone an open-type font which allows for ligature and contextual character replacement!), and I have no doubt some people could do better or even improve upon this one. That said, it's actually a really good font and I think most everyone will appreciate how accurate it is and appreciate it's capabilities.
Create and Enjoy!
