.tea for two, and two for tea

I love making fonts! I say that; I love to design them, but I’ve yet to figure out how to turn ideas into files. Still, over the past few years I’ve built up a collection of letters and type, to be turned, one day, into fonts.

I’ve more to put up but I thought I’d start with Teastained as it’s my favourite font to date. Comprising of over 40 different tea stains, each curve was individually pieced together to form each letter.

It took forever, but the result was worth it. Used in the final project of my “Making Tea Sexy” campaign, it proved to be a great hit, both to lecturers and viewers alike. It was also a great success at my 2006 UWIC exhibition.

But that’s a story for the future.
