I've been wondering what font/typeface was used for the cover of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx ever since I first heard the album. For years, I've searched for it. Multiple people on different forums were looking for it, but no one had any idea what the font was. A few years ago, some guy on this forum found a font that looked similar to the Cuban Linx font, but it wasn't the same shit. So I stopped searching for the font.
Earlier this year, I found this shit on Google maps:
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&q=halfway+II+heaven&ie=UTF8&hq=halfway+II+heaven&hnear=&ll=51.508582,-0.12661&spn=0,259.101562&t=h&z=4&layer=c&cbll=51.508582,-0.12661&panoid=X2O33_lhWZU3L2c13ByF-A&cbp=12,175.96,,0,7.63
Look at that shit. That's the fuckin' Cuban Linx font! On a fuckin' gay bar! This lead me to start searching for the font again. I found a font detector online and uploaded a picture of the gay bar. It found the font instantly. It's called "Entropy."
Here it is: http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/detail.htm?pid=401530
It ain't free, though. I couldn't find it on any warez sites and I doubt anyone actually has it uploaded. I don't give a fuck, I'm just glad I found this shit.
Peace
