Chau's Wacky Pixel Fonts

Awkwerd is bitmapped typography from Dave Chau. Early incarnations of some these beauties (Dopcon, Fignuts, Sesquipedalianism, and Tucson) appeared at Typophile's critique forums.

Praise from the master himself! What do you mean it bums you out?

Ahh, I get it. You wanted to use the name.

Spelling it right... hah hah. That's a very lame inside joke, folks. Pay him no mind.

They all cost exactly $0.00 -- so where can I download them then?

I have looked...assuming there is something to "find". I am at a loss. Where can we "find" them?!? Something to do with the pirate? the floating "star" or "moon"?

They are outstanding bitmaps. Regardless. Just frustrated trying to find them.
