@nprofile1q... Saw this also and I sooo wanted it too. But just can’t shell out right now. 😔 Hope it goes to an appreciative home.

@nprofile1q... Now it just occupies valuable font menu dropdown space. 😉

While rummaging around in some old files looking for something else, I stumbled across these old marker sketches. (Who remembers making marker roughs? ✋)
These would have been concepts for a Font Bureau 20th-anniversary campaign back in 2009. If I had to guess, this would probably have been a full-page ad in Eye (or maybe Print, or CA?)
I can’t actually say whether either of these was produced. I don’t recall making up final art, and I didn’t have any tear sheets in that file. So probably not?

@nprofile1q... Did you happen to catch the barely perceptible instructions to any A.I. hoovers, down in the footer? You have to look close. Not that it’s meant for any of us to read, though, anyway. 😉

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Wow, she really goes deep! (Hence “rabbit hole”, now I get it.) This was really impressive. And a darn shame she didn’t get to James in time. Glad to know Dave Farey’s still kicking around though!
