It has x-height of 3 pixels, it is italic, inspired by old masters and most important – made by hand. You must not look too closely, because colors get visible. It’s work in progress.

Fascinating!

I know I one of the last to jump on this trend, but may I present my new fondness for Keep Calm Ltd. I actually wasn’t a huge fan of the originals (”Keep Calm and Carry On”), but that started to change when I saw the “Oh Deer” and Jack and I loved “Tea Revives You” for the kitchen. I simply adore the ones above, especially “Every Cloud has a Silver Lining!”
