Font inspired by the absolutely candid Volvo 240 Station Wagon. Some people will refer to them as bricks. I refer to them as Volvo 240 Station Wagons.
Side Note: Jason Munn is taking preorders for a book that contains around 140 posters complete with metallic inks and other goodies. If you preorder you will receive a letterpress print with your book. The book is $24.95.
Hey man, nice work. Grain Edit posted this on Twitter. Saw the name and found out it was you. Sweet.
I found you through the grainedit tweet (which I RT’d). Love the font because I love my 240 station wagon.
Thanks Dan. I just checked out your website and blog and was blown away! Inspiring work. I need to step up my game and start kicking some major ass like you. I think my haircut is seriously holding me back from being an amazing designer!
This is awesomeness.
Like Samson, if you trim your hair, you lose your power. Thanks for the compliments too.
So? How does one buy/download it??
Not for sale. If anyone is interested in obtaining 240SW, just leave a comment with your interest and I will email the illustrator file to you.
Alex – Great work! I dearly miss my 240dl wagon, or as it was reverently referred to in my circle of friends: The Tank. The nylon roof of my 1990 model became a canvas for all my artistic passengers with Sharpie markers, so that by the end of the poor car’s life, we had to cut the ceiling down with a knife, and frame it for my office.
how do I acquire this font, it would go great with my girlfriends gifted car. She has not had a car in years and I just got her a 1979 245 wagon. Please let me know where I can purchase this font…
My grandparents and aunts all had 240’s. This font reminds me of why I loved those cars and to this day continue to look for a wagon that lives up to those memories.
Thanks
