Sasquatches of Arts and Letters

When Canadian author and icon Mordecai Richler died, Random House Canada, his publisher, commissioned a typeface to be created in his honour, called of course, Richler. This much is true.

It's also true that a number of the fonts we have on our computers, here at the head office of Your Friday Sasquatch Report, are also named after celebrated writers, including alphabetically Byron, Cicero, Dante and Swift. This much is true.

A Spanish design firm recently created Big Foot, a typeface that celebrates the disproportionate aspects of Sasquatch anatomy. The feet are large, all ascendors are slightly hunched and it's particularly hard to see, except at dawn, and then only for a few seconds.
