~~The fall of bespoke letter commissions was a disaster for the human race~~ I wish I had an illuminated letter P that was made of a Jesus with a pug face, holding a pug with a Jesus face ๐
The future of literature
Oh, companies still commission letters, they're just mostly slight modifications of some semibold neo-grotesque.
Customer: And the topless two handed holding of right fin?
Is the "E" there even necessary? That looks like musical notation, maybe it's signifying the key? Now I wanna see the whole thing
Apparently, from a quick reverse search, this guy added these grotesk letters to his music manuscripts.
