fonts by gluk

Shiver me timbers. Everybody has their weakness, right? Even this supergirl. I’m referring to hoarding "collecting". Mine is fonts. Years and years ago, when they were hard to come by it was necessary to save them. I mean, who knew if you’d ever find that font again and risking the loss of the perfect font for your next design just wasn’t an option.

Despite the bald truth that my excuse doesn’t hold water any longer, I continue to amass these little treasures. Today I found Foglihten — an art deco beauty created by gluk somewhere in Poland. S/He has a whole family of Foglihten variations available plus a few other designs [www.glukfonts.pl] that are worth adding to your collection. You know, if you’re into that kind of thing.

adorable alert

If I thought for a second I would wrap my yarn into balls I’d be purchasing this. Lucky for me this talented artist makes other things, like this berry bowl, that is moving to the top of my wish list!
