The font across this site has been handmade just for this purpose. When marking work or objects around the workshop, I always use a Pentel Micro Correct. It’s the perfect marker than creates a gleaming white quality of line, that has a level of unpredictability that I like. When I started building this site and revising my visual style, I came to the conclusion that I unknowingly already had it, so I decided to translate this handwritten style into my brand. I began by hand rendering multiple glyph options for for every letter, to allow me a level of control; while still picking letters that aren’t entirely perfect to stay true to the style. The typeface currently has an upper case in regular and bold but I intend to continue refining and fleshing it out further.
