Riana is handwritten, scanned and then carefully worked over to keep the rough touch and the typical “fountainpen” look. The result is a very lively, expressive font. To me it has an Existentialist touch,...

Ysadora is a very elaborate script with high contrast and big swings.

Ulissia is a hand-drawn slab serif typeface with a strong character. It reminds me of the 50s, 60s and the film noir period or of old Wild West movies.

FatSally is written with a broad felt-tip marker, scanned and finished by hand on screen, taking care to emphasize the typical “marker” feeling.

CheapThrill is a very elegant and expressive script in the tradition of the 70s with a touch of flower power.
