Schwester was first inspired by the weight of the edges of the capital letter “O”. The combination of slanted type, hand drawn drop caps, and my love of the band QUEEN, helped to push the typeface into existence. For the typeface’s name Schwester, it is the German word for sister. This name stuck out to me much like my sibling’s use of the word to get my attention. My Germanic Nickname name seemed to fit perfectly. Since both the typeface and the name both are comfortable, sophisticated yet personal. Although pixelated, my goal is to someday finalize it so the edges are more curved and smooth.
