3.5 million downloads, not too shabby.

I have a similar question. Fifteenth Century, later misnamed Caslon Antique, apparently can't be justly called Jenson Antique or Aldus Antique either. What, if anything, was it based on?

I actually typeset an annual report in 8.5pt Bleeding Cowboys.

*faint...* *THUD!*

If there is a market in making a pro version of it with faux randomisation of contextual alternatives?

The way it is right now could even limit amateur band flyer designers. 😄

just kidding.
