Acadami

Acadami font

Acadami is an experiment toward what will hopefully be my masterwork (probably named Hackberry). It’s also the font used as I get used to FontLab 5. The serifs are stronger and sharper. It’s modified...

Cutlass

Cutlass font

Cutlass was just for fun. A year ago or so [2009, maybe], someone on typophile showed a scan of the word “Ciruelo”. I liked it. Those were the only letters I had and no...

Chunkie
