I wrote this piece some time ago and remembered today: As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.

And here’s Eros — I’ve chosen Amalta for Eros. If you don’t mind.
I realised I’ve never designed a font in the Mania spectrum, which I think is good news 😀
This was the Types of Love series.
The End.

Storge, familial love. Matching with a comfortable text typeface with a familial character.
Warm and balanced, rooted in generations' history, based on typefaces cut at Moscow University in the middle of XIX century.

My fonts again — Apriori, which matches Philautia, I think, being quite self-aware and confident.
Love of self.

Жаным — "Darling" in Kazakh language — thanks for the request to Assylbek Umurzak.
Cyrillic Ж is quite a challenge for a broad-nib tool, but I finally captured it with two brushes!
Calligraphy Marathon is going on, Day 9 of 14 ❤️

This was my first text typeface design, and I spent many, many days drawing and polishing this "a" — that was an awe, that was a mystery.
I had no knowledge of that bloody "cut and paste" in those days... and designed each letter from scratch.
Innocence.

The 2nd edition of the Nottingham Gingerbread Tiles 😊
I'm trying a different colour and taste.
Black treacle instead of honey — taste is more intense, bittersweet, like rye bread.
Glazing — yes or no?

New dough for the Nottingham gingerbread tile — black treacle instead of honey for the dark colour, more intense taste and high contrast between letters and glazing.
