Mr Lucky
Mr Lucky was designed in 2013. It’s Mr Happy's slab brother, a hand-drawn narrow typeface designed for our book “Impossible Inventions”.
You can layer different styles over the background style to achieve lots of colourful effects. Use just one style to get a single-coloured letter or set Fill over Background or Stripped Background to get a two-colour mode.
Mr Lucky has upper- and lowercase characters with up to three alternate glyphs and special alternate uppercase diacritics. Built-in OpenType Contextual Alternates feature will automatically set alternate glyphs depending on frequency of appearance of the same character (even in web font but only in HTML5 browsers). The script doesn’t throw random glyphs. For example, in the word “HIPPOPOTAMUS” you will automatically get three different “P” glyphs and two “O” glyphs. It really works great, but of course you can always fine-tune it by hand.
You can buy it on MyFonts.
