First post on this newly renovated community news portal and I’m happy to tell you guys that upon launching it, today is my birthday. Yay!
Anyway, I am one of the millions subscriber of MyFonts.com and I would like to share to you their October issue of Creative Characters: The faces behind the fonts, Rob Leuschke.
Below is the excerpt introduction about Rob and you can read the full interview by visiting the online version of the newsletter since I received it to my email.
Many type designers make script fonts, but precious few match Rob Leuschke’s consistent high-quality production. Although his letterforms often have an immediate familiarity to them, they are seldom based on existing letterforms. Rob Leuschke does not revive typefaces, he draws them afresh. He doesn’t think of himself as a calligrapher, though. Then how does he do it? Read on and find out how much of what looks like spontaneous handwriting was in fact painstakingly drawn.
