A new look on an old face :)

#1

Before I design my own font, I wanted to start a FontSelf project with an old typeface that hasn’t been digitised - and I found one in the Encyclopaedia of Typefaces called Ehmcke Antiqua from 1908.

Here’s the result from my efforts - it’s not perfect but I had fun, learned a lot and found FontSelf Maker to be the must-have for budding font designers.

Thanks Geoff, sounds great but just one issue accessing your font file. Maybe worth having a look at Fontself Catapult to handle your web fonts :wink:
