[comp.fonts] "Seagull" -- who designed it?

	Does anyone know who designed "Seagull" and when?  I've seen it
available from a few sources, but I've never seen any information about
where it came from.  (I suspect it's fairly recent.)

	Just wondering...

	(And it actually does "match" the seagull that's in a client's
logo, with its interesting curves...)

I saw Seagull only in Letraset's listings.  Where else did you find it?
The overall shape of the letters reminded me of something Alan Bright did
on Brighton, and the serifs were definitely reminiscent of Raleigh, which
is apparently distributed by the same purveyor, "Fonts."  I know nothing
more about this company than its name.  If you call Letraset, they should
be able to tell you how to get in touch with Fonts.  Please post any new
information or email me and let me know how you did.
