The Sub/Conscious Meanderings of a Design Philandros

Shaping Up Marua

After a brief hia­tus from design out­side of work, I’m back with some updates to Marua. I think she’s shap­ing up rather nicely, but of course still needs some touchups. I’m almost to point where I feel com­fort­able design­ing sup­port mate­ri­als for the exhi­bi­tion. As things get pro­duced I’ll make sure to post updates.

I think there’s enough promise for Marua that I’ll be includ­ing a cou­ple weights and an italic. These addi­tions are prob­a­bly a few months away, but plan on it.

    Arlo, I espe­cially like my ini­tials in Maura.

    What is the pur­pose of the two dif­fer­ent lower case “a“s?

    Mom–
    I’m flat­tered that you like it that much. You’ll def­i­nitely be get­ting a copy.

    Kent–
    I’ll admit that the R and K are two of my favorite let­ters. The low­er­case a,g, and q have styl­is­tic alternates—mostly just for per­sonal preference.

    I like how you used an excerpt from “Atlas Shrugged”. Nice touch. Only, you should maybe check it for spelling errors again before you dis­play it… (here=her, etc).

    I reviewed it ear­lier today and noticed the same thing. Please find a new/​updated ver­sion. I mod­i­fied some other things also.
