Typographica

It’s ambitious. Making a connecting script is not the easiest thing, let alone with so many options. Some people use ambitious as a euphemism for “falls short of its lofty goal”, but this typeface is successful at accomplishing exactly what it intends. It’s relaxed, yet elegant. Looking at it, I am transported back to this past summer, hiking to a secluded spot on the banks of Walden Pond. It’s the kind of typeface a discerning designer would buy first, and then let the right project come to them. Like they were watching a wave hit the shore of a lake on a beautiful day.

Dyana Weissman is a typeface designer at Font Bureau. She has lectured at Type Camp Galiano, and various colleges in New England. She collects letters, and anything that looks like letters, that she finds in her travels. She is probably the only person in America, perhaps even the world, who enjoys kerning.
