Thanks to Dunefish for the vector version, to make these ideas possible:

I guess great minds think alike on that bottom-left bersion, eh Dunefish?

Anyway, these are just some ideas.

I like the two sandy looking ones in the upper-right and lower-left.

No worries.

Looking good looking good! Great minds indeed

(Your texture is much nicer than mine though!)

Few minor edits.

The real X is boring, I might keep my invented one

Post by **Freakzilla** » 21 Oct 2008 17:24

What book did you find an X on?

lol@bersion...

I think I like the lower right one, personally. It's quite golden. Like the path.

Your Q reminds me of the Q in Queens of the Stone Age, which is actually a sperm swimming toward an egg.

So now you're doing the lower-case, right?

I like the bottom right one with the light.

Could you do one with llight shining down on the words, with it layering off into blackness?

Just a suggestion.

what was your inquiry?

I run a Frank Herbert fan forum online and I would like to know what font you used on the old Dune series and Dune Encyclopedia paperbacks. If you could give me the name of the font I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
James Kendrick

huh. Merritt's board provides some (potentially) useful information:

What's the current status on the font?

DuneFishUK · Post by **DuneFishUK** » 31 Dec 2008 08:58

I've been hoping there's an easy way to export every single character as a separate file and import it into my rubbish 90s font creator.

When I have a spare evening with nothing better to do I'll knuckle down.

We're all waiting on you...

Just kidding, I can't wait to see the final product.

I imagine Penguin never had a digital file of the original fonts and has long since trashed the plates used for their prints runs.

Hurry up and finish so we can use the fonts for an upcoming literary project

Yeah, but it's possible that font had a name and was recreated digiatally somewhere.

If it existed before it was used for the Dune books it might...

DE says "designed by Jeremiah B. Lighter" but this was before Berkley Books merged with Penguin in 1996. If he was still around he may know.

It's funny how we obsess over such a little thing that's actually quite extraneous to Dune itself.

But I feel the same way, I'm super pumped to make use of this font. I'm in design, so it might come in handy.
