Indiana Jonas

While experimenting with OpenType features I got the idea that they can be used to emulate the perspective effect of Indiana Jones logo so I decided to give it a try. =)

The final result is not the exact replica, but some kind of compromise.

The letters of the original logo are slighly overlapping each other and it would be too complicated to handle all possible combinations and exceptions so I had to somewhat unify the width of the letters to fit the perspective curve.

To make the perspective works you have to enable OpenType feature called "Contextual Alternates". The perspective currently works up to five chained lower case letters. The following small letters keep the same size. The upper case letters always keep their original size.

If you want to get closer to the original logo please use Italic version. I prefer Regular though. =)
