Creating a font from typewriter art!
This was a continuation of a type workshop run by Liv King, in which we created a font in Glyphs. I was inspired by the idea of bringing the handmade/analogue into a digital context, and what flexibility that may give it.

This font is fully usable. I also screenprinted some t shirts with designs made from Royal 200, pictured below. :)
