'Patty Polk did this and she hated every stitch she did in it.'

My outcome for a UWE project focusing on analogue technologies/processes. My interpretation of this brief caused me to research stitch samplers - especially those made by young children in the 19th and early 20th centuries, which were often charmingly wonky and resentful of being made to create such intricate samplers. My font aims to playfully display the instances of human error and irregularities that are present in hand stitching/embroidery, as well as to replicate as convincingly as possible the look of stitched type.

Outcome for UWE 'What The Font' project, focusing on analogue technologies/processes. I aimed to combine the irregularities and fluidity of traditional cursive handwriting with the texture of cross-stitch and embroidery.
