I Heart Fonts

"Artify": To make arty; To imbue and beautify with art. "Heart": The center or inner core of one's being. Thus, to "ArtiphyTheHeart" is to imbue the inner core of one's existance with the beauty of art. I'm a curious and creative explorer of the world, currently working in book arts, collage, mixed media, fiber arts and acrylics. Each day I try to share a snippet of my life and musings through a piece of artwork, and every once in a while I spice it up with a pinch of practical wisdom.

I Heart Fonts

I'll admit it. I'm a font freak. I like them better hand-lettered than perfect, so I try to letter my own whenever I can. This page with its Road Trip theme made me think of the Airstream font, which I tried to simulate when I penned the word "Diner".

This is page 6 for the Marvel workshop. More to come.

It amazes me that you write 'Diner' freehand. WOW.

You made me think, Rita. When you said "write", it sounded odd, and I realized that when I pen fonts, my mind tells me that I'm drawing them. Interesting insight...
