I know, it's not really food, but nearly as essential :)

Cute, but not fonts.
And if they were, would they still look like food?
2.Apr.2009 11.34am
Oops, I missed the Black and White requirement.

Fair point, Nick. For the purists among us, this battle should be Food Lettering.
3.Apr.2009 3.59am
Not sure if this qualifies as food, but its made out of blocks of garden cress. Its edible at least :)
3.Apr.2009 7.14am
For anyone who has had children, food littering brings on a different meaning :-)
Oh! That was lettering! never mind.

Refined sugar refinement. Could have used an undo keyboard shortcut on this one.
In the raw version:
And after banging on the table a few times:

Chris, pardon the pun, but that is sweet! Is it based on Bernhard Gothic?
3.Apr.2009 2.52pm
Looks more like it is based on Jack Frost Rounded :-)

"Is it based on Bernhard Gothic?"
Not consciously, but I think I owe some royalties!

Here is my submission. Some time ago in my kitchen...
Turkish Hellim Cheese getting the right cook on the stove.
And!@#$% all there is As (: The most delicious As I had!
3.Apr.2009 7.06pm

This was for a School project -

Not easy to harness the inherent contrast in Bavette. :-)

Food for Live:
I just want to experiment when they go out to eat it and i was waiting for 24 hours.
let them eat it all!
4.Apr.2009 7.22am
It looks like that font won't compile--it is too buggy :-)
ChrisL
4.Apr.2009 7.43am
mmmm! I think I'll have Pasta tonight!
LIVE is very cool - however not very appetizing...

Hmmm, hope the Narcs aren't around :-)

5.Apr.2009 6.10pm
I think usually when a new one is started. ;)

Locked- up in the chase...

Here’s a font (but not mine).
6.Apr.2009 7.44am
Please pardon my crappy phone camera, but this glyph appeared last night in my squash. I think it is quite nice actually.
Tasty too!

Cerulean, those pretzels are smart! Love it.
7.Apr.2009 9.13am
I think Refined sugar refinement looks like it's been Gaussian blurred "after banging the table a few times". :)

"Does anyone know when this type battle ends?"
The next meal?

My son also enjoys playing with his food (he's 1.)
I hope he picks up on graphic design like his daddy
and grandpa.

I like the yamtype. Michael, did you try inking them up? (Not with proper ink of course, but with another foodstuff!) Can we see a print?

@oprion Peeled skin makeready! Nice!
@dtw I didn't print them, though it was quite satisfying to lock them up in the chase... I just couldn't bring myself to run Yams through my press! Truthfully I also couldn't wait to bake them -- which didn't go quite as I thought it would -- I put them in the oven, and they just kind of withered and bloomed with black bits... perhaps I should have pan-fried them?

Ah well, never mind.

The pretzels one is my fav. Keep it up!
