Provenance

This design was found inside JET_THF2.TDF, itself inside JET_THF2.ZIP, itself inside the top-level pack out-0597.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 1997. 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.

Alex Alves's second JET font for TheDraw, released under the Temple of Hackers banner and carried in OutWorld Arts' May 1997 pack. Its documentation says the design is based on Arnow's Sneeze font.

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.
