I released Stampoo on February 6, 2007. To create it, I started with the capitals from my earlier typeface Whiterock. Its informal, hand-drawn character suited the effect I was aiming for, making the stamped impressions look convincingly handmade. I arranged the letters on rectangular blocks in Photoshop and applied a textured effect to mimic the inky, worn look of rubber stamps.
The final result was a single style that carried irregularities in shape and texture to reinforce the illusion of authenticity. I added OpenType ligatures so that certain letter combinations would automatically substitute custom pairs, preventing repetition and making the stamped effect appear less mechanical.
Stampoo was always released as a paid typeface. It has not had notable public uses and has remained unchanged since its original release.
