For this design Alessandra took photographs of hands in leather gloves to make alphabet symbols. Sometimes they're crude signs- Alessandra claimed these gave the letters a ‘dirty’ feeling. I've taken inspiration from this for my own work as I think they work well in representing letter forms organically. Even subtle details like finger nails and creases work to make the finials far more interesting. I hope to incorporate subtle details like this in my Caslon typeface. As i'm working for it to also have a sinister, disconcerting feeling.
