This font is Beltway Prophecy Irregular from whiteshell.com. It's a little different, so let me give you a few suggestions on how to use it. First, the letters on the signs we made the font from were s p a c e d out pretty far, so set your tracking in the 100-200% range to get the right effect. Second, even though this is an all caps font, we've made two of almost every letter, so use both upper and lower case...usually the upper case letters are a little more crusty.

It says you have to give us credit for the original if you make a new version of the font, and that you should contact us if you distribute any version of it. E-mail us! [email protected]

Beltway Prophecy: How it happened http://whiteshell.com/beltway-prophecy/ As I accelerated my car down the Gallows Road ramp into the speeding traffic of the Washington D.C. beltway early one afternoon in the last months of 1999, a small white sign written in strange bold letters stared at me from the side of the road. JESUS IS COMING, the sign said. I had a strong urge to stop right there in the middle of 70 M.P.H. traffic and take a picture. The sign whizzed by and I ruminated on the life expectancy of illegally posted Interstate signage. Would it be there tomorrow? Next week, when I might be by this way again? I passed the next exit and the next. Just as the impulse to get off the beltway and go back was fading from my mind, another white sign appeared: PREPARE TO MEET GOD I swerved to the side of the road. It was a series! I ran to take the picture. I was returning to my car when a State patrol car pulled up. The trooper warned me I shouldn't have stopped unless there was an emergency. I only considered obedience for a moment. I smiled. I was on a mission now. I had to go back. I navigated the infamous I-95 "mixing bowl" twice to turn around. Somehow I took all the right exits and finally stopped at the bottom of the Gallows Road exit, where the first sign still waited. The result is our first font, BELTWAY PROPHECY IRREGULAR.
