There’s a kind of a hush this week and since Rat has always been a piker when it comes to New Year’s festivities, it seems like a good time to put paint to paper and develop the new typeface.

I know what I want to do. It’s going to be another variation of quirky handwriting, but with more emphasis on serifs and flourishes of optional characters. Perhaps it’ll be the world’s first semi-serif hand-lettered typeface. There’s a good goal.
