Handmade Slab Serif
A custom made (sort of) typeface

I needed a typeface for a print project I am working on and had a hard time finding just the right thing. So I went handmade. Rather than start something from scratch, I took some inspiration from the fantastic form of H&F-J’s Archer bold.
I am really enjoying the aesthetic of this face. I am not sure of the legal issues of distributing my take on someone else’s typeface. Since I’ve licensed it, I know I can use it, but I would like to make it available for free. More on how I use it to come.
