About the Larry 3D font
Larry Gelberg made Larry 3D in 1994 from Juan Car’s Puffy font, and Glenn Chappell tweaked it. It draws the sides of each letter with / and \, so the letters seem to stand out at an angle.
At seven lines tall, with “HELLO” taking 46 columns, it needs a wide screen. A single word at the top of a long announcement looks like a poster headline. On phones it wraps easily, so send it as a PNG.
Works well for
Poster-style headlines, desktop announcements, and blog headers.
