✦ This is an intimate love story between the two things I’m most passionate about: illustration & typography. If you look closely, this ongoing series of artwork shows more than meets the eye. The pin-up girls are not just designed to exude all the typefaces’ qualities, they also tell a story, which goes beyond the simple pairing of colors and a shapes. I had many in-depth chats with the designers who created and drew the characters’ font families in order to give a soul to these graceful ladies posing with their typographic soul-mates.
