About a month ago I posted this little tutorial to twitter and drawger, but I figured I would catalog it here as well. This is in no way a comprehensive guide to drawing an A, it’s a little intro into the things I consider when attacking a type project.

Excellent. Really, very excellent indeed. I’m slightly puzzled, though: is the ‘Drop Shadow’ really a drop shadow? It seems more of a three dimensional effect.

Very nice! I’ve just been through the site and I am somewhat awestruck by your mastery of decorative type.
That German Deli logo really caught my eye, but there is lots to inspire here, thanks!

This is great. And inspiring. And helpful. But what I really want to know is your secret to how you get so much done.
