Kingthings Lickorishe Pro

Kevin King says: “When I started this font it was called Pestle… It didn’t run - it didn’t even walk. At some point I thought, Hmm! Looks a bit like Liquorice! And now… Voila! I remember being able to buy about a yard of Liquorice rolled round a central comfit - how fab! Tuppence worth of sticky afternoon! You could also buy bundles of Liquorice root - which looked like black twigs with bright yellow wood - they left my teeth full of black twiggy bits… The past is a strange Lady - Bless her! This was almost Kingthings Leechy… just another one of my bulbous shiny things - I have always liked letter-shapes with ‘bottom’, probably a 70’s thing, as many a seventies thing did indeed possess it - including the fabulous Chaka Kahn… Oooh, Diva!”
