Based off the Fast Money board from the 70s game show, "Family Feud."  

The name "A Fine Mess" comes from the blocks themselves have some kind of messy look of the E, F, M, Q, and W.

This is my first time creating a colored font.  I like the nautical flags and thought make a font out of them would be a good idea.  I added the numerical flags as well.
 

A - Alpha
B - Bravo
C - Charlie
D - Delta
E - Echo
F - Foxtrot
G - Golf
H - Hotel
I - India
J - Juliet
K - Kilo
L - Lima
M - Mike
N - November
O - Oscar
P - Papa
Q - Quebec
R - Romeo
S - Sierra
T - Tango
U - Uniform
V - Victor
W - Whiskey
X - Xray
Y - Yankee
Z - Zulu

Using Fontstruct's filters, I created a bold type version of my font, "1991."

I wanted to go with a tall-looking appearance when I was creating this font.  Aside from the lower-case letters, I believe I have achieved what I was going for.  The idea for the name, "Attitude", was an interesting one.  My mother saw what I was making and thought some of the letters had some sassiness or character about them.  

When I was creating this font, the word "state" popped into my mind.  The serifs give each character a stately look without looking too collegiate.
