Gorgeous, isn't it? This is a reproduction of a cross-stitch pattern from the French series of embroidery books "Maison Sajou". It dates to around the turn of the 20th century. After seeing such a beautiful, ornate pattern, I just had to convert this one to a font, a process that took several months.
The design is made of intricate flower buds, stems, leaves, and check patterns. The design of the letters is similar throughout the pattern, however no two letters have exactly the same layout (for example, flower buds are facing a slightly different angle). Each letter is intertwined with a branch that winds its way up the letter, and features representations of leaflets and berries.
The 'I' and 'W' were not present in the original design. 'J' doubles as 'I' and 'W' is a rotated 'M'. While I would love to make up numerals based on the current letters, it would be a daunting task as each letter is about a 100x100 size grid. Anyone is welcome to clone this font and give it a shot.
This pattern was found on http://patternmakercharts.blogspot.com/2010/11/sajou-no-601.html . There are lots of Sajou and other embroidery patterns there.

So, this is basically a very dirty font. Took me a lot of effort to make it. I will add more letters and things like that to this font later, but for now enjoy this fine piece of work.

Use the Big Fat fonts with each other in different colours for awesome chromatic effects.
A big fat angular industrial strength chromatic font. The lowercase contains the fill for the uppercase.
UPDATED 25 February 2009: Made the space character 2 grid units wider.
UPDATED 27 February 2009: The 'J' has been off this entire time and nobody noticed. Now it's fixed. Also fixed width of 'Q' to match new members of the Big Fat family.

Actually this font does not have capital letters. Uppercase only the negative form of the lowercase.
This font is perfect as an accent.

This font is a template. Clone it, make it beautiful, and share it. Don't just tweak it, make it your own. I'm sure you can think of something. There are a few circles floating around on spare characters in case you need them. Be warned, it has more squares per glyph than I've ever seen in a fontstruction, so there could be downloading troubles. Enjoy!This is a clone

Inspired by the award winning Optica by Manuel Guerrero, this is Big Fat Shaded's big sister. Same letter shapes but with a more vibratory, well, vibe. Great for drop caps. The two-tone effect still works - just set one layer in uppercase, one in lowercase.
A blank vibrating square can be found at "-" and space, and the uppercase is at "_".This is a clone of Big Fat Shaded

Hybrid case including basic punctation. Lowercase gliphs are with outline.
