When I had gone through the troubles of setting up my computer after a devastating crash (Note to self: *Never ever* fiddle around with system files that have kernel, core or runtime in them when you don’t know *exactly* what you are doing.) I seized the moment and set up my machine for maximum performance rather than maximum-RAM-filled-when-running-only-Windows.

I was busy reading “Zodiac” by Robert Graysmith the last week and I am about finishing the book. It’s a very good read and I recommend it, especially when you’re into details in the investigations or details in general. And while looking through Zodiac’s letter and ciphers I felt somehow the urge to make a TrueType font of Zodiac’s handwriting. So here it is.
EDIT: Renamed the Font from Zodiac Cipher ’69 to Zipher. Sounds slicker and orders alphabetically nicely with all the other Zodiac Killer Fonts I’ve created so far (or will in the future).
