Deep in the bowels of the earth a tortured creature trys to mimic the writings of mankind. It labors long and hard carving the letter forms on the walls of it¿s cave. Many years later, rubbings where taken of these impressions and fashioned to create this hideous font. All kidding aside, with such a formal training in type design, it was not easy for me to create these ill-shaped letters. I kept wanting to smooth out the outlines. Anyway, it was a good exercise and we now have this antique heavy-weight.
