Haha I’m so glad! I felt the same way when I learned about these old lettering tools.

I just discovered your page and I ADORE your style and fondness for spotting beauty in the dusty, seemingly ordinary corners of life. Really great work!

I have one of those lettering kits! I found it high on a shelf while teaching wood shop in a middle school years ago. When the program shut down, it was one of the things I kept with me- I still have it because it’s such an interesting mechanical way to write.

This is so cool! And agree heavily on fontself being a great start for anyone wanting to try out making a typeface. Incredibly intuitive and easy. Great work, Beth!
