Hello Friends, I hope you're having an awesome day. Thanks again for your loyalty to insigne fonts. I truly could not do it without you. As a typeface designer, I occasionally get the itch to do something different. So here it is. I thought you might find it interesting. It’s a board book for young children, designed to teach the little ones all about the fonts that surround them.

This book is designed for you and your child to treasure for many years. We’d like you to join us in making all this possible. Pledge to produce The Clothes Letters Wear ...
