07 - Worms

Now the snow has gone...we can get back into the garden! Poppy was digging this week and she found her first worm of 2009 - so gabi has celebrated that fact and has produced a lovely typeface based on worms.

05 - Blizzard (8 weights)

Well...the weather, lets get all British about it!...We here at G-R-A have been so inspired by the torrents of snow over the last week - we made a typeface about it!



There are 8 "weights" to the blizzard typeface from the simple dots of DB_nobox to the whiteout that is DB_forty... We think the typeface can be used as decoration or as readable text - so quite a versatile font.

04 - Backy (uppercase)

Backy is the big brother of "TwigType" - a documentation of our back garden through hand cut stencils. Our "Backy" is a bit of an anomaly – an oasis of two established trees (30+ years old) in a desert of kept gardens.
I love looking up and watching the shapes of the branches create their own forms and symbols – the lack of scale and context reflects our situation with moving house.

We had also removed our anniversary present from our old house yesterday too – and I am not sure if this is a defiant statement – to the problems we’d had getting what was ours back (I won’t go into the details!)…
This letterset is very limited – it is not only massive in the amount of points to create a font – but also very much designed for single words or short phrases – by no means a font to be used as body text!

We love our trees at G-R-A – we hope you do too!
