Dead Words - Lardlet

My contribution to the Dead Words project; a typography / lettering project showcasing ancient words that have been omitted from the English language. Check it out: http://deadwords.info/

Design done using only Illustrator. My initial pencil sketch is attached. Thanks @Karen To for the invite. I had some fun with this!

Lardlet WAS a word used to describe a small piece of bacon to put into meat to enrich with fat.
