The Magic Palace of Design and Fonts!

Come closer! Come closer! Our tour of the epic achievements of the interweb progresses! See as we approach the Palace of Design and fonts, inlaid with Mother of Pearl and Lapis Lazuli, filled with epic gauntlets as big as a man dribbling with pomegranate juice and ice-filled silver bathtubs cooling design mangos and fresh typeface champagne...

About Fig, which you said was the original Bjork vespertine font.
I looked at it and it looks *quite* different from the script font on my vespertine album. In fact, none of the characters look the same. Any reason you think it's the original vespertine font?

Sorry, Karen - I think I must have got that one wrong. No idea how that happened. If anyone knows where I can get my hands on the original Verspertine font, I'd be very interested in finding out. In the meantime, Fig is a pretty awesome font too. As is Alega...
