Written by Pete Wright

Last week Dan Gneiding released his full typeface version of Ribbon, from Lost Type, and I was lucky enough to design a spread in the accompanying type specimen book. It’s included in your order if you pay $30 or more for the font–sweet.

I love the whole book, so many amazing finishing touches and details to hold your interest. It’s also nice to smell actual ink again, as so many projects are digital only these days. I had a blast working on this project and hope it shows. I was also so thrilled to finally include some words from John Lennon in a design piece. Even more so, Dan even included my peace sign glyph in the OpenType set. Go ahead and pick yourself up the font and book.
