I am so disappointed in you, Kevy. ;)

One of my favorites fonts is Macintosh named after Scottish architect Charles Rennie Macintosh. It's beautiful in it's own right but because it's so highly stylized, it's not very practical for text. I think it looks best used for signage, titles or labels.

There was a fellow architect at the place I used to work who would use his rapidiograph to hand letter ALL of his faxes in Macintosh. It drove the secretaries crazy, because they just wanted to send out a reply to our clients as quickly as possible. Mario refused to let them type the replies for him and insisted on hand lettering each one. He was one of the best draughtsmen we had and the clients LOVED the individual attention they received from him. Every fax he sent out looked like a piece of art, like some old English manuscript. I think he even used the enlarged initials at the beginning of each one.

Just because it's a good excuse, the exterior of the Macintosh School of Art in Glasgow, the first building designed by Charles (no photos allowed inside, sadly):

Excellent, I finally found the original logo file. The fonts used in the LoT logo are "Indubitably" (Lounge), "QuigleyWiggly" (of), "Concielian" (Tomorrow), and "DymaxionScript" (adventure through inner swank).

A fine job y'all did on the logo!
