		<description><![CDATA[I have an aversion against taking the easy road. These days many font designers create their designs by referencing designs from the past. Make no mistake—there’s a goldmine of vintage designs out there waiting to be rediscovered. But there are a few of us font designers still left who want to create something that’s not been seen before . . . but that’s not that easy to do. Most of my fonts (with the exception of Steinweiss Script and DeLuxe Gothic) are completely new inventions. I’ve been working on the font design shown here for the better part of a year—ever since I completed the Dyna-Fonts. The beginings of this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Authors Note: Yes, I&#8217;ve previously done posts on this work, but there&#8217;s always intense interest in this subject, and I&#8217;m presenting some new material here. When I was asked to design and do the art for KISS’ 4th studio album Rock and Roll Over, I was fairly ignorant of the culture that was forming around the group. I was unencumbered by any preconceived ideas as to what the group and their music was about. Many are surprised to hear that Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter had to explain their different personas to me before I started working on the design. I’d love to be able to show my working pencil [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PowerStation is my one font that specifically evolved from a prior design assignment. I had been tasked with designing signage for Hershey’s Times Square flagship store. The signage needed to be designed in the spirit of a retro future-machine, à la Jules Verne or other Victorian “Steam Punk” aesthetic. So I came up with the following sketches in which I combined various lettering and type styles: In the tighter version I designed the word “Hershey” to have a feeling of faceted letters, similar to what you might see on an old theater marquee: Ever since I first became aware of them I’ve been faxcinated by the tactile qualities of these [...]]]></description>
