Hand drawn type with custom ligatures which was then vectorised and laser cut before being wood stained and glued together in layers to create a letter rack. The project is part of a set of installation pieces which I'll be releasing soon.

awesome - how much to reproduce? ;)

Wow, this is fantastic. Such an excellent idea! Love that first image in the attachments, I've never seen a swash stroke be so actually useful.

@James No 100% sure on reproduction cost as I got a discount price for the laser cutter, but I imagine one its cut and been packaged properly (will be packaged in a screen printed wooden box) it would be looking at something around £25. does that seem reasonable? not that sure with these sorts of things!
@Claire Coullon thanks! glad you liked the slightly extravagant swash! it was definitely experimental when I tried it.

While I'm not really knowledgeable on these sorts of things either, that seems pretty reasonable to me considering how great it turned out. Nicely done again!

WANT. I can't get over how beautiful this is. My only "complaint" (if you can call it that) is that the x-height of the x seems a little off, though I realize that it's because the terminals and bowls of the rest of the letters sit slightly above the x-height. Nevertheless...I would love to have this sitting at my desk.
