Description Adobe, the leading developer of design applications, commissioned us for a social illustration of Venus by Botticelli, the mascot and inspirational imagery behind one of their flagship products, Illustrator.

Composed of over 1,300 unique submissions of user’s favourite fonts, generated from the Adobe Facebook page for Illustrator, this project was literally created by the users, for the users. We couldn’t be more thrilled with how it turned out.

Ain't that always the way ...


Anyway, on the subject of fonts, I've come across an alphabet derived from a popular series of books, which I was wondering if you could help me turn into a font which follows the alphabet's proper syntax. I've got a few examples of the alphabet, created by myself in PowerPoint, and am willing to send them to you via e-mail if you're willing to work with me on this.
