Day 7 of Drawing a Font Every Couple Days. Itās been a week since the last font, and I spent 3 days on this one. Forgive me. Today: 1900ās Arts & Crafts/Jugendstil/Whateverist take on Fraktur, with organic curves, Lombardic capitals and lots of ornament, that does well in a Brothers Grimm setting.

Day 5 of Drawing a Font Every Day. Took a few days off, but am back with this little connecting script font. Not based on anything specific, just a marker script that looks like something youād see on a 1930ās movie poster or aperitif ad. Handwriting-ish but also crisp, bordering geometric.

From the archive: a brand identity for Idle Hour, a bookstore in a small Kansas town. Unfortunately, I donāt think they ever did open up, but still pretty pleased with the work. Blackletter wordmark based on some Helmut Salden lettering, ornament inspired by the building that was to house the shop.

Hereās 16 European towns, letterāed by hand in Procreate in various Art Nouveau inspired styles. Goal here was not to imitate any existing lettering work from the period, but instead find new forms that still fit the style.

A WIP typeface I havenāt touched in a while. High contrast, not too calligraphic (for once), with art nouveau flair, weight and width axes. Absolutely begging for optical sizing and an italic.
