Title: Mongoose font
Post by: Preston Pirate on July 05, 2006, 03:57 PM

Anyone know if the Mongoose font (Californian era) is a standard font or was each letter hand crafted for the puropse. If anyone has the font they could send (Mac OSX) or the name of the font that'd be really useful!

Thanks in advance

Is it like this one? I can't remember what the californian stickers looked like.
