A Serif Badge Pin using a stretched out version of my Spagetty typeface in antique silver (probably not real silver) and it's available now in the shop! Wear it with pride, knowing that most people will point out the horrendous typo. Then you can explain the joke and they will probably think even less of you. But deep down, you'll know you have the upper hand regarding typography lingo puns. And that means something.

Today I shared a free pre-release of Beeswacks, our latest typeface, with our Secret Club members. It’s a sans-serif display font inspired by some vintage lettering found on a wax candle company’s packaging.
It’s intentionally imperfect & quirky with an inky, rounded-but-angular character. Looks great in all-caps, but we also added lowercase to match the limited set found on the candle box.

A little WIP Wednesday Warmup with Spagetty today. With apologies and homage to my beloved Veer (RIP) Serif cap I wore probably 20 years ago 🤓
Took a photo of Baker’s Island on the Whaler, used Ships Whistle inspired from lettering on the Martha’a Vineyard ferry along with Paint Factory inspired by lettering on a building in Gloucester Harbor (where WB was filmed). Synergy! Also? #widowsbay
I've been making a little graphic for each F1 race as an excuse for more font specimens :) And predictions! Gotta go Leclerc for this one. Using the WIP of Kyroh here for the city and driver names.
More on this one soon, but I just shared the free pre-release of Kyroh (my latest typeface) with Secret Club™️ members. It’s inspired by an Egyptian hotel luggage tag’s lettering and comes in three weights.

New Stardust Tee in the shop! When life seems difficult, I always remind myself of the bigger picture. And you can’t get much bigger than remembering that everything is made of stardust and stardust is everything. Heavy stuff, but it helps keep things in perspective. The type is set in our Cartridge font. Small eclipse icon on the front left, with full, 3-color art on the back.
RE: @Cliff538@thecanadian.social
Thanks for the order and share, Cliff! 🙌✨

@maique@social.lol Yep, it’s awful. I assume the only way small business get around it is to have distribution and fulfillment in Europe, but unfortunately too costly for my tiny operation 🤓
