‘Influenza’ his recently created font, was a break from connected systems of building blocks. According to him, one of reasons for this detour is that Influenza is based on a stripped down version of an earlier font. This stripping down ditched connectors and gave him a new base to work from. 'Influenza ’ was released on September 1st. After that Influenza will be available through Myfoints.com same as other fonts.
