I came across these Thunderbirds cutaway drawings on Facebook the other day. I should have ordered one of each…
An update to a previous post. Four additional prints have been made in the Dreams of Future Past set of woodblock prints and they’re just as gorgeous as the first one. Prints 1, 3, and 5 are my favourites at the moment.
Routine Roman
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.
Under construction
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?
