It's Fontastic! Andrew Byrom, 3D Type, & Llamafont.

Lately, I've been really getting into fonts. Here are some of my favorites fonts and inspirations.

Andrew Byrom creates typefaces from everyday objects, from neon letters inspired by chairs, to box kites with new meanings, to functional, yet instructional pipes.

This lovely website will illustrate your text in llamas. From llamas doing headstands to llamas simply sitting, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog," never looked so comical.
