While at Border's Books & Music the other day, I flipped through Vampire:
The Requiem and was amused to notice that the "nosferatu" vampires now have
a Cumberland font (Arvigo) as their logotype of choice. I have it on good
word from White Wolf that it'll appear regularly in the Vampire line from
here on in, as well (whenever the Nosferatu are hanging around).

I think the original Arvigo - a pale, subterranean crime lord with a
disgfigured face and a missing nose - is smiling someplace. Which is good,
because my players always HATED it when Arvigo smiled ...

I think this is the third time an RPG publisher has used a Cumberland font
(that I know of) ... I think I should put up a "font spotters" page on the
fontworks at some point, offer a free Cumberland title to any font-spotter
who is the first to tell me of a commercial use of a Cumberland font I
wasn't aware of. Okay, it's officially an offer ... the page will follow soon.

Maybe, while I'm at it, I'll eBay off the original sketches for the Arvigo
font :) "The ideal birthday gift for your favorite Nosferatu fan who also
happens to enjoy amateur typography!" Hrmm. I've auctioned sillier things ...
