Mt. St. Sr. Font
Typeface Design
My Mt. St. Sr. Typeface has become this somewhat playful and whimsical take on the typical contrast found in letterforms. Creating a reverse-stressed typeface became an avenue to put my own being into it, turning a typeface on its side allowed me to insert my own playful nature into it.
What a better way to put my own soul into a typeface than to turn it on its side? A loving nod to myself. Even the name is making fun of a few typefaces, such as Mr and Mrs Eaves. Finding just the right amount of odd comments and weird thoughts to express this typeface. Who hasn’t been personally victimized by Helvetica?
