In their own words
I liked the combination of clumsy but entertaining elements right next to well executed moments within the same typeface.
I spent a lot of time on translating the interesting aspects of its personality into a functional framework.
Contrast affects all glyphs across all styles alike and is therefore a crucial attribute to the unornamented shapes of a sans serif.
I always want my typefaces to convey a distinct attitude while still providing designers with the versatile tool they’re looking for.
