Country: Denmark Birth year: 1991 Apart from amateur typography, I'm very interested in linguistics and pretty much everything regarding language. I studied linguistics at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH). The Danish language uses the latin alphabet plus three extra letters (æ, ø and å), and I hate it when they are missing from a font. Thus, I sympathise with the other languages that use diacritics or alternate writing systems, and therefore I make fonts with many characters. The thing is, when I start I don't seem to be able to stop again.

A decorative insular display font.
This is still a work in progress. I'm pushing the new bricks, stacking and nudging to the limit to create some nice flowing shapes. This is also a great opportunity to get working with some good kerning. Once I have the basic character set, this is going to be submitted to Google Fonts for approval.
I took inspiration from Kurrentschrift (Spitzschrift) and the Thai alphabet to create something that looks South East Asian, but is actually just latin script in disguise.
I'm not sure I'm quite happy with the k. It seems a bit too twirly. The x i stole from Kurrentschrift, but I'm not sure it is legible in this setting.
