Mat i Färg – Groovy cookbook

This summer we bought this groovy cookbook from 1970.

Old face never finished

About 10-12 years ago I made a typeface called Liquory. I never released it – the curves were to bad. The idea was a gothic gone "scripty". Even though it will never be released I thought I'd show 3 glyphs that I think have a fun concept.

Flow Script flow!

Some of you may remeber the post I did in May, showing a new script in the spirit of Fludium. Well, here's some more characters I did yesterday. Still a lot of curve tweaking to do. Very thin curves with a "flowing script feeling" is very hard to do.

The g-Didot progresses

Some new glyphs. I had to make a P before anything else,
and I've been browsing through Bodoni's old specimens for inspiration.
Is there any of the Didot specimens available online?

Mattel trademarks adult activity

A while ago the Mattel Group licensed the Fountain Library. Today I thought I'd see if maybe some of the typefaces had made it's way to some toys. Browsing the Mattel site at random I found this:

Now , for you who doesn't speak swedish it's probably not that fun. But I can tell you that Pippa(TM] is a verb, and something adults like to engage in when the lights are out and there's nothing on TV.

And now Mattel has trademarked(TM) it.

Meet the g-friends

I've fixed up the g's curves, and gave it some friends:
