It's not every day I have an excuse for a subject line like that. Of all the
recent unlicensed commercial uses of Cumberland fonts (the Twix commercials,
S.O.S. etc) some of my favorites have been from right here in Austin, and
recently they've done something unprecedented (at least to my knowledge).
They've jacked TWO Cumberland fonts at once:

Their current ads use both Dirty Headline and Ten Ton Ballyhoo, and it's cool to
see the alternates set of TTB in actual use. Very very cool (although a little
sad, since I'm a fan of the _other_ rollergirls here in Austin, and they jack
_other_ people's fonts) :(

Remember: Font-spotters get freebies! Cumberland fonts are everywhere nowadays
and I can't spot them all ... especially local-use stuff that isn't here in
central Texas. If you spot someone making groovy use of a Cumberland font, be
the first to let me know and I'll shower you with thanks and downloads and maybe
other odd items I have laying around the house :)

Hope this finds you all well. Busy here, but that's a good thing!
