grounded


HEYO! You may have seen this over your social networking instawhats or facethings, but the font I designed for Caribou Coffee has officially debuted! I was so excited to have the opportunity to work on another font again - and especially in a style that I feel super comfortable in. It's also pretty crazy to look down at my latte (no flavor shots please!) and see something I drew. Go, little font! Live your new exciting life!

I collected a few images from the website, e-mail blasts, and from the cups themselves for my lil' bloggie...
another cup (thanks for the photo kate!) / coffee packaging / some instore signage / font on the website!

Anyway, I hope someday I can do another project like this. Currently I'm researching font creation softwares - Fontgrapher is the only one I've used, so if anyone has any opinions on the matter PLEASE!!! let me know. 

p.s. I changed my header! Nothing crazy, but it needed a little update.

Wow, these fonts are so lovely! I'll have to keep an eye out for your work at Caribou, what a delight. On a side note, I am very excited to have just found your blog. I recently moved to Minneapolis and love reading the local work of others in the area!

I've been loving seeing this on the instawhats and facethings! Maybe sometime in the future you could do a process post if you want to share your secrets? I'd love to see how this goes from start to finish!
