My self-printed and hand assembled cookbook. The book and inside of the slipcase are covered in alcantara. I also used my typeface for the body copy.

This was my first attempt at making a traditional hardcover book & I’m fairly pleased with the results.

Again, it has been a while since the last update. I’ve done a lot more work (as usual) and remade the italics. I’ve decided to base them on Aldine forms while still attempting to keep the unique characteristics from the Roman face.

It’s been a while since I last updated here and big things have transpired. The typeface has transformed into a blend between a neoclassical and an oldstyle serif. All comments and critiques are welcome.

A sneak peek at the development of the upcoming specimen book for my typeface.

The newest version of the specimen sheet. It includes the Roman numerals, capital eszett and a few more diacritical characters (and lots of little tweaks).

A new spec sheet is up. This time, the focus is on the text setting. One of my goals for this typeface was to create something that works as well in text as it does in display. Let me know what you think!

Lately, I’ve been working on fixing proportional issues. Specifically in the capitals and the italic lower case. I’ve come to the conclusion that, unlike most sans serif faces, the italics here will be more than just slanted romans. The lower case, in particular will have completely different proportions (narrower than the Roman version).

Here is a shot of all the glyphs in the regular weight. A few (the diacritics, I believe), are missing but this is everything else. Some glyphs have yet to be combined (hence the reversal) but I’m sure you can look past that to get the general idea.

It’s been a while since the last update so I thought I would show some of the progress on the primary glyphs.  Here are the Regular, Italic and Bold weights in their present forms. I’ve spent a lot of time, recently, working on the small-size legibility (despite the current large photos), and I’d like to think some progress has been made.

A new specimen sheet is up which includes the new bold and semibold weights. I think the new weights really help showcase my intentions with this typeface. I’ve also realized the smallcaps still need a lot of work
