The font is an original design inspired by freehand lettering created with ink and quill pen. The letterforms are graceful yet robust, conveying overtones of exploration and adventure. Check it out at http://davidocchino.com/portfolio/typography/tradewind.html and let me know what you think.

For short passages, most people use sIFR to embed a flash rendering object with the font in it. Here's some examples: http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/fdc-varia/font-embedding.htm The "WEFT" way mentioned does work in IE7. Not in FF3 though.

This was fun. By the way do you have 'AaarghSoc' in the US? It's the most piratious university society in Australia - I'm a member of course. Heheh. This was fun.

I suppose that if there was a ninja day, then the Samurai's and cowboys would want their day too. It would be a big mess, because the ninja's would be killing everyone, then Chuck Norris would show up, etc etc... Ros – great question!

Makes you wonder if they'll if, in two hundred years, we'll have "talk like a prison gang member day" or some such. Great site, btw.
