Every aspect of this is outrageously groovy. What a fun typeface—won’t someone please digitize this? I’m sure there would be a market for something this unique.
Thanks for posting this treasure – I love it!
I assume that the rights lie with House Industries who acquired the Photo-Lettering assets. If enough potential licensees nag them, I can imagine that they bring Ginger Snap to new life.
