I have felt so proud of my home state this week for standing tall vs. fascism. So today I created BEARHUG, a font based on the CA flag lettering. Get it for $20 at www.swelltype.com & I will send all proceeds to @immdef.bsky.social who provide free legal support to CA immigrants #weareallimmigrants

Letter of the Day: D from a Swell Type font in the works. Doesn't look like much, but you'll be able to dial in EXACTLY how serifed you want every letter to be! Having some fun with this one. #letteroftheday #graphicdesign #type #typography #fonts #fontmaking

Starting today, I'll post a single letter from whichever font I'm working on. Might as well be an A… #letteroftheday
