typehorror

So I started doing a type treatment but then got completely in the wrong direction and created this horror-esc type – got a bit excited by it, really want to get it to a full font…. soon hopefully.

eneverfont

So based on the piece of typography I did for Curl Magazine wallpaper of Laura Enever I’ve fleshed out the font to a full uppercase set. Might offer it up soon when I’m more happy with it.
