When I started this font it was called Pestle...
It didn't run - it didn't even walk.
At some point I thought, Hmm!
Looks a bit like Liquorice!
And now...
Voila!
I remember being able to buy about a yard of Liquorice rolled around a central comfit - how fab!
Tuppence worth of sticky afternoon!
You could also buy bundles of Liquorice root - which looked like black twigs with bright yellow wood - they left my teeth full of black barky twiggy bits...
The past is a strange Lady - Bless her!
This was almost Kingthings Leechy... just another one of my bulbous shiny things - I have always liked letter-shapes with 'bottom', probably a 70's thing, as many a seventies thing did indeed possess it - including the fabulous Chaka Kahn...
Oooh, Diva!
