Lipstick Traces Font

More info from Solar Sister

Stephen Deken, font designer Isabelle Trolio's partner at the (now sadly defunct) Typearound font site wrote this in August 1999 to introduce this font:

"Up for grabs and shameless downloading this week is Lipstick Traces. As this is Isabelle's handiwork, and she didn't give me a blurb, I can only speculate as to where it came from...
See, I think that what happened was that Isabelle woke up one morning and couldn't find her lipstick. She stumbled around for a while and finally made it out to the kitchen, where she found the following ransom note, w ritten all in uppercase:
"WE HAVE YOUR ZEBRA. OF COURSE, IF YOU WANT TO SEE IT DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT ZEBRAS DO, BRING THE XYLOPHONE AND A MOOSE AND MEET US AT JACK'S BARBEQUE."
Being a true font geek, Isabelle completely ignored the actual content of the note and immediately made it into a font. She even got a teensy bit carried away and used the remaining lipstick to make a kissprint.
(Okay okay, so that's not the way it went. That'll teach Isabelle to not write her own blurb, though...)"
