The Earth A.D. (After Disaster) family was motivated by the narrow yet heavy and open gothics penned by comic letterers mostly throughout the late 60s and early 70s. After Disaster, the initial font that inspired this collection, is an excellent 'reader' that stands happy and understandable over its later incarnations. But comic letterers at that time weren't susceptible or understood to show comic readers much lowercase lettering. So motivation was looked for and discovered not in the uppercase letters as others might have been tempted to do, but in the gothic designs of 30s and 40s signwriters. Even the numbers come from a legitimate source, lifted straight off a classic truck speedometer straight out of the 50s. So everything you see here is authentic. You just need to understand where to look.
From the initial After Catastrophe font style, 6 extra faces have spun themselves into existence for many years. This thorough bundle will put a total of seven typefaces on your hard-drive, a well-rounded household that has shown itself a hit in signshops around the world since 1999. So it is with misty-eyed enthusiasm that it finally arrives here. And yes, to the fanboys who understand what the not-so-hidden innuendos are all about: you're going to be really happy with this bunker complete of faces.
