Lacquer
Google font, poster, type specimen, website
2019
Collaborated with friend, co-worker, producer, and photographer Niki Polyocan to draw, digitize, edit, and programmatically kern 396 glyphs for a custom handwritten typeface. I also worked with creative technologists at Google Creative Lab to develop tools for programmatically kerning large numbers of irregular glyphs. Lastly, I build a web type specimen showcasing all of Lacquers glyphs and alternates. Lacquer is currently available on Google Fonts.

This project was completed while working at Google Creative Lab. Lacquer went live on Google Fonts in August 2019. Poster and programmatic specimens by me.
