Girl Crushin’: Font artist Robin McDowell
|
It takes a certain kind of nerd to get all googly-eyed over fonts. (If you think I'm crazy already, you should probably stop reading now. You are not that type of nerd.) But for those of you who are, you know what I mean — Helvetica, in all its simplicity, flexibility and purity, is so easy to love; a poorly placed decorative font is so easy to hate.
If you're feeling me, you should check out local font artist Robin McDowell, whose work is pictured above. Not only does she craft beautiful typefaces, she also gets witty about the text she features. Her work, along with her non-type related tees, are currently up at Art in the Age. (Which, we know, we are embarrisingly into. You can't decide who you love, OK?) But wait, Robin, Internet doesn't=real life? I'll have to sit on that for a while.
