font frol•ic



I am crazy about fonts. A bit obsessed actually.

I can spot Helvetica from a mile away or swoon in the land of Bickham Script. From sans serif and serif to handwritten and calligraphy to vintage typewriter styles, I lavish in the uniqueness of the glyphs and curvatures. Each stroke of line that forms each solitary shape so purposeful. And don't even get me started about numbers. Oh, how I doth love each digit!

Whether a typeface is used to create an identity and brand a company or form the sentences of the chapters of your favorite novel that you lose yourself in, fonts are such a integral part of design.

And they sure make me happy.
