Sabbath Paranoid

Sabbath Paranoid is based on the blocky font used on the title on the sleeve of Paranoid, the album of Black Sabbath that was released in September 1970.


The font turned out to be a photo type named Bloop whose provenance is not known to me. The Bloop specimen that I have only showed an all uppercase font with some punctuations. 

I added more characters to what was shown in the Bloop specimen. The final font contains the following characters:
You can test the font using your own text string here Note that if you use a character that is not shown in the character set above, that character will be shown using your default font. Give the font a spin.

Download Sabbath Paranoid: Mirror1 or Mirror2

I am requesting you to link to this web page (https://k22fonts.blogspot.com/2018/10/sabbath-paranoid.html) instead of directly linking to the font download -- please do not hotlink my download.

And if you are interested in my fonts, you will find almost all of them at ABFonts and OFFSite. I also made available some of my fonts at Dafont and Fontspace. If you happen to find my fonts in other font archives, I did not upload my fonts there and those sites probably stole their content from the sites I linked to. You are solely responsible if you download a virus instead of a font from those unscrupulous sites masquerading as font archives.
