“I thought aboutrepparttar role silence, pauses and breaks play in music and wondered why we always express silence visually by putting blank space between words. Silence is much more than nothingness, it can be a look from someone you love, a sigh between words or taking a deep breath. Silence holds meaning and shouldn't necessarily be represented by blank space, so I designedrepparttar 107447 Acetone-companion 'Aether' for writing silence. The building block approach doesn't just apply to my dingbats. My typefaces usually feature connectors that bindrepparttar 107448 words together as blocks of letters, much likerepparttar 107449 way script-based fonts are bound together”, he explained.

‘Influenza’ his recently created font, was a break fromrepparttar 107450 connected systems of building blocks. According to him, one ofrepparttar 107451 reasons for this detour is that Influenza is based on a stripped down version of an earlier font. This stripping down ditchedrepparttar 107452 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 asrepparttar 107453 other fonts.
