SLURRY TYPE

1950S HORROR COMICS ARE A CONSTANT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR ME - I HAVE  QUITE A FEW COLLECTIONS AND LOVE THE STORYTELLING AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THE VISUAL STYLE OF THE GENRE. IN TRIBUTE I DID THIS HAND LETTERED TYPE TODAY, WHICH I'VE NAMED 'SLURRY' - I WANTED TO CREATE MY OWN VERSION OF THAT FUN, GROSS FONT STYLE MADE FAMOUS BY THE GENRE, WHILST EVOKING THE KIND OF MEAT SLURRY USED TO MAKE HOTDOGS... I'VE HAD A FEW OTHER IDEAS FOR GROSS FONTS I'D LIKE TO MAKE BUT NEED TO LEARN A BIT MORE ON HOW TO MAKE THEM USEABLE FIRST!
