Type Release Today โœŒ๐Ÿผ

UPDATE: Auction is now available for purchase!

Later today I'll be releasing this type face. Truth be told, it's not finished yetโ€”but that's entirely the point. (It doesn't even have a damn name yet.)

This typeface and the way I'm choosing to release it is a bit of an experiment. The self-imposed pressure of perfecting a typeface before releasing it has inhibited me from ever actually finishing any. The idea with this typeface is to be publicly transparent and iterative with it's development.

Here's how it works:
Later today, the Light, Regular, Bold, and Heavy weights of this (soon to be named) typeface will be available for purchase on Gumroad.

All 4 fonts, uppercase characters only will be available for $20.

Overtime, I'll be updating the font by adding characters (including lowercase), adjusting spacing/kerning, and refining letterforms. Every time an update is made, the price is going to increase.

Once you buy the type, you'll receive all of the updates for free. So the sooner you buy the type, the more you can potentially save.

The whole point of this is to make it an open, iterative, and collaborative process. I'll post about this again later today when it's available, but you can also subscribe to my Gumroad to receive an email update.

P.S. I don't want to fail to mention that the type is rooted in the wonderful sign painting work of E. C. Matthews. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
