A beautiful typeface - unfortunately completely outside my financial range but a great typeface nonetheless.

I hope to seeing it in the wild sometime. Really, really beautiful

Thanks! I appreciate you saying so.

I’m a total hack when it comes to type design, so, I’m still pretty unsure of this one. I go from seeing all of the problems in it, to thinking: “hey—that looks OK.”

One discovery that helped with both this (and the site we built it for) came from reading about wabi-sabi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi

That perspective helped me see that imperfections might be part of a thing’s appeal. This is a very different viewpoint for me. I tend to “need” everything pixel perfect—but I’m not sure that’s as important as I once thought.
