Álvaro Franca@letterformarchive Is that a font? It reminds me of Basque letters, but more toned down. Very nice!
@alvaroefe All lettering. Girard was an avid traveler and collector of folk art, so it’s very possible he was inspired by Basque lettering.
@letterformarchive it's very pretty, plus these bars on top of the A fill the space nicely in this radial typesetting
