Though the angular letterforms are reminiscent of some of the more experimental fonts by The Extremist, who provided yesterday’s featured Mistigram logo, the arrangement and presentation are unique to the outsider stylings of Grim Reaper, Mist’s longtime freewheeling VGA department head. Endlessly productive, he scoured his life experiences non-stop in search of inspiration to feed the endless furnace burning in his brain – sometimes used “whole cloth” with inadequate processing or adaptation. But you always knew when you lit upon a piece that was 100% GR, because it was impossible that anyone else could have made it, gazed upon it and said to themselves “There, that’s it! THAT’S the piece I’ll submit!”



We originally released this piece in February of 1996, but it is as timeless today as ever it was then! Popular tastes simply have not yet caught up to his strange genius!
