BEAD CHAIN was inspired by a book jacket of the 1920s or 30s that featured white pearls arranged to form handsome capitals. I'm using the the stately forms of Gill Sans®, although some letters had to be reshaped to fit the pearls better.

Then, after seeing Chicago again, I made MARQUEE, a companion negative font. Use them separately or layered together.

Here's a nice example of Bead Chain in action in the making-of on the Hamlet 2 DVD. They've used it in white on black for a marquee effect appropriate to the theatrical setting, and added a nice moving twinkle effect. Click image for detail.
