A single letter, drawn during a moment of inner peace. No concept, no goal, just tranquility. The designer and artist Jan Gerner, known as @yanone describes the state of deep relaxation and mental clarity he experienced in a remote forest cabin as almost sacred. In that moment, he had not created a form, but found it. It wasn’t a finished idea or full alphabet — just a feeling that would grow into a special typeface over the next ten years. #ad
