I followed the thread and discovered this face was searched for in earnest but no one could find it, so I created my own version. Sweet Leaf is my take on a font as described by some dude from Holland looking for a similar lost font on ABF. The first one, Spliffs, was suggested to me by a ‘chronic’ friend of mine for use in invitations to an annual lost weekend he hosts. J.A: -three marijuana-themed fonts don't necessarily indicate a pot smoker-ĭan: -no.
Probably because I'm a big guy with a ponytail and my arms are heavily tattooed. In spite of my far out fonts, I'm not really a pot smoker, although everyone assumes that I am. This has proven time-consuming but ultimately will be worth the effort.

Currently I'm the graphic designer and illustrator for a company called Timber Specialties Co, in Campbellville, Ontario. I'm a graduate of Mohawk College for Graphic Design, and Sheridan College for Interpretive Illustration. We also have a son named Kevin who's grown-up and out on his own now.
