dewlineSo I'm reading this one at the moment:
https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/united-fonts-of-america
It's a commentary about a map detailing places across the USA that have had fonts - or knockoffs of better-known fonts, more likely - named after them. Said map being authored by one Andy Murdock, co-founder of the Statesider newsletter.
Getting to my point: I'm now wondering how many fonts are named for Canadian places. I know a guy who's had a habit of naming some of his fonts after places across Canada, Ray Larabie. You may remember my past recommendations of his Typodermic-brand fonts here in this blog.
Fonts named for places like Arnprior, for one example. Rimouski, for another. Athabasca for a third. And so on...
So, where's our font-name map of Canada?
