EUROCENTRIC
Arose from listening to songs from The Boomtown Rats' album V Deep; an angular typeface linking the Soviet Union and Ancient Rome. The world was exposed to this font during the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, where it was used to spell out "JAPAN" on that country's team caps and jackets. The J, which is supposed to extend below the baseline, was altered a bit for the logo.

GANG OF THREE
Gang of Three was the first font to be created specifically for the VicFieger.com free font page. It was designed to resemble political posters often seen stuck to walls in Chinese cities. This font was used in the 2007 Zoonami game Zendoku for Nintendo DS and PSP, and the cartoon Robotboy.

OSAKA-SANS SERIF
Named after a universally-beloved Azumanga Daioh character, Osaka-Sans Serif was an attempt to simulate modern and futuristic Japanese katakana symbols. This font was used for a 2005 exhibit called "Kabuki Heroes" at The British Museum in London. It's also in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

KREMLIN II
This font was designed with Russian constructivist artwork in mind, particularly works by El Lissitski. This new version is essentially the same as the original, but with a few of the rough edges rounded off. The original incarnation of this font has appeared in places such as the animation graphic for The Colbert Report's "Cold War Update", and a cartoon from the world-famous JibJab website.

ZONA ARMADA
This font was meant to emulate protest graffiti thrown hastily onto a wall of a South American junta state. Why should countries that use the Roman alphabet get left out of the faux-foreign typeface fun? These letters were drawn using the insides of several cheap pens. They were sliced in half and the ink from inside the plastic tubing was allowed to flow directly onto the paper without running through the tips of the pens.

SIAMESE KATSONG
A font based on a boldface sign in Thai, and one of the first Vic Fieger fonts with accents. Sorry the title isn't better. This one was incorporated into a logo for a fake product on a Real Time with Bill Maher sketch.

NUKU NUKU
Not based on any Asian writing style in particular, but it sure looks like it was, doesn't it? This font was used in some forms of Kung-Fu Panda merchandise, including refrigerator magnets. More recently, it has been used extensively in the game Mahjongg Wii for the (wait for it...) Nintendo Wii.

GRECIAN FORMULA
Created to resemble the lowercase letters of the modern Greek alphabet. And, just like that "Symbol" font, writing things with it in English is NOT an acceptable substitute for writing in Greek.
