Slow August

August is slowly ending. As I keep working from home I try to read a bit and doodle or draw type whenever I can. Yesterday night I was reviewing the texts for a book and started drawing this sans on a lark:

You can see a bit more details at the usual spot. I’m pleased with the results so far, especially in the key glyphs g, a and s. I also like how t turned out, whereas w desperately needs fixing. y is quirky, but it might fit.

I also refreshed – again – this blog’s header, finished reading Modern Typography (hard to reach the end, but it was good) and worked some more on Rest roman and italic. Work-wise, I’ve been procrastinating a lot of stuff but I can’t kick myself too much over it: the studio will restart in about two weeks so there’s plenty of time for me to finish things before september.
