I’ve been toying with a revival of Clearface by Morris Fuller Benton for the last few months and recently found some higher quality scans of the ATF specimen books that feature it.
My initial goal is to redraw at least the same glyphs as in General Gothic so they can be used together.
The longer term plan is to adapt it for use alongside HEX Franklin with matching metrics for a long-form, long-term book project I’m working on.
The version I’ll release initially has a working title of Routine Roman, but we’ll see if that sticks.
I’ll do a longer write-up at some point, but I’ve decided to make this site my personal home page again.
At this time I don’t need a dedicated portfolio site (although that remains), but I do need somewhere to stick all the random things.
Isn’t this just a great colour scheme?
To anybody I offended this year:
Work on yourself so I don’t gotta do it again in 2025.

Yes, this is me…
I quite like the concept of ikigai: a Japanese concept referring to something that gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason for living. I’m still trying to figure out what mine is.
