My team and I have spend all day trawling through my numerous font catalogs in great depth and I am sorry to report that we just can't find it JimboJones. We're going to go and get something to eat. We need some fresh air, and then half of us will head back tonight to go over the catalgos again, and the other half will take over in the morning of we still haven't had any luck.
As a back up plan we have asked Jeremy Tankard to work up a replacement font based on the available letters so all being well we will have something for you tomorrow at the latest.
- If you wanted to check on progress, we're going to be bulleting as we go on Twitter. We have a work placement in who will do this half hourly.Orbit

The entire British economy collapsed dramatically today following a sudden downturn in productivity around lunchtime. A number of factors are thought to be responsible, among them JimboJones' obsessive hunt for the font on a beer bottle, which left many creative practitioners unable to get on with any real work. Jimbo is thought to be unrepentant and his legal team said only this
"JimboJones needs to know the name of that font".
