 While helping produce a trade magazine years ago, I admired the hand-lettering of the art director—a woman named Marydale—and asked if she'd let me model a font after her penmanship. She agreed and drew out the alphabet; I launched an old copy of Fontographer and (to shorten a long story) ended up developing my very first digital typeface.
Which has since, astonishingly, become famous worldwide. So now the real Marydale gets the mixed blessing of seeing her handwriting (and name) plastered all over the planet. Full release has regular, bold, and black weights. |
