Do typedesigners with bad handwriting exist?

Nick Cooke

I forgot to include the first OpenType ‘realistic’ handwriting font I produced with messy crossings out, ink blots and fingerprints; https://g-type.com/assets/specimens/Olicana-specimen.pdf

Wow. That is impressive. I am jealous. I hate you

@Nick Cooke I used Olicana to demonstrate OpenType features to my design team back when both the font and technology were new. It's lovely!

Thanks. It worked out quite well considering I didn’t really know what I was doing, especially with feature coding. I sort of made it up as I went along and hoped for the best. It was my first OT and it took over a year.

Yes, we do exist. My lettering is excellent, though.
