Boy, they’re everywhere. One of your neighbors is probably one of them, Freaking super-heroes (TM, ©, ®, SM blah blah blah) are more ubiquitous in cities these days than Simon Cowell is on talent shows. Notice how that guy on the subway—the one with the boy scout haircut?—see how he keeps his shirt buttoned all the way up? He’s not sweating either… that’s ’cause he’s probably from some dead planet that exploded twenty years ago. His REAL parents wrapped him in blankets and, when he turned 18, his Ma on Earth turned those same blankets into Long Underwear for her foster son. He’s probably wearing his long underwear right now. That’s why he’s smiling at you through his horn rimmed glasses. He thinks you don’t know. Thinks he’s special. Thinks he’s a super-hero (TM, ©, ®, SM blah blah blah). Ain’t that Super?

It is NOT the END, my friend. Beyond the Saga, beyond the Hype, Beyond the expectations of marketing executives and studio shareholders lie prequels AND sequels. It has been said that every journey has a first step as THE STORY BEGINS, and every Generation has a Legend, a Story, a Franchise and an inevitable descent into mindless exploitation where THE STORY ENDS. It’s true, all of it!

Homespun by Homely Nina Green (nee Nina Sutcliffe), over 18 years ago for her old college pal, Mister Comicraft (ne Richard Starkings), CHEEKY MONKEY is a chirpy and cheerful character set which has found its way over the years onto the title pages of comic books as disparate as Captain Britain, Doctor Who and Darkman. We’ve kept it to ourselves all this time because we thought it was just too precocious for mass consumption and way too impudent for its own good. Don’t turn your back on this font, baby, or it might pinch your bum!

Chunky Nouveau JNL was inspired by a circa-1928 water applied decal for the Top Most Insulated Jug.
The plump, rounded hand lettering of the brand name was given a slightly thicker treatment to create a more poster-oriented display design.

Chunky Nouveau JNL is available in both regular and oblique versions.

You’ve been shot down over enemy territory and you’ve managed to survive for weeks thanks to your training and instincts*... but now you’re being ruthlessly pursued by MAPPO’s footsoldiers… The ELEPHANTMEN! Will your commanding officer go against orders in an attempt to rescue you or will his mission be abruptly aborted, stranding you behind ENEMY LINES? In order to survive, you may have to betray your own rebel forces, your allies and the entire free world!

The future of mankind hangs in the balance! Failure is not an option! Bummer.

*This font’s modus operandi bears no relation to the story of any other font that may have been shot down behind enemy lines, real or imagined.

A gruesome operatic drama is about to unfold, a tragic performance of the macabre! We offer for your entertainment a series of unfortunate events full of shocks and lugubrious revelations which will chill you to the bone! We also offer you this font, which may have similar effects, including nausea, migraine, heart palpitations and stomach upset. Pretty, though, isn’t it?

Well, if you found this page via Google and what you’re looking for is NOT a Slam Bang display and logo font (made famous by the logo of our sister company’s flagship comic book title, HIP FLASK), but in fact a small metal bottle suitable for brandy, whiskey or the spirit of your choice, then we deeply apologize. If you’ve read this far, then we’d like to point you to eBay where you’ll find a wide selection of the items you’re looking for. While you’re there you might also like to consider how difficult it is for HIP FLASK fans to find back issues of our comic amongst all those pewter and stainless steel christmas gifts for your golfing friends and fellow alcoholics.
