Provenance

This design was found inside GUARDF2.TDF, itself inside TG-FONT2.ZIP, itself inside the top-level pack shv-0994.zip. The first pass over the archive inventoried top-level files only, so it took the recursive pass, which opened 2,456 of the 2,464 nested archives in the 4,019-pack archive, to reach it. The top-level pack is a main tree pack from 1994. The extracted file is held byte-identical to its pack copy, and the recursive pass found no other sighting of this design anywhere in the archive.

From The Guardian's second TheDraw font set, released inside Shiver's Art Exhibition #3 (September 1994). The font file's SAUCE record names The Guardian and Shiver, and his readme says the set follows the good response to his earlier fonts and that users may do what they want with them.

Where it stands

This design is not one of the generator's shipped styles. It is cataloged here as a reference specimen, rendered from the held file.
