aquatoad design

I’m still on a font hunting frenzy and this is my favourite find of today. It was the scroll and initial ornaments that sucked me in at first, especially the scrolls, but the rest has grown on me. I really do like the way the italics work with the regular – I’m not normally an italics person, so this was a nice discovery.

I was looking for more info & feedback about Olduvai and came across a forum post on typophile where the font’s designer Randy Jones of Aquatoad jumped in and provided some advice to a user who was having some difficulties with the ornaments. It was nice to see that he was so friendly, helpful & posted images demonstrating the solution.

Now to find a project Olduvai would be perfect for to justify the purchase :)
