Dandelion specimen from 6TM Magazine

A minimal hand-drawn display face by Madeline O'Donoghue, inspired by spring botanicals in New York, with 43 glyphs of lowercase letters and numerals.

About

Drawn from observations of poppies, seed bulbs and dandelions, the letterforms have soft, stem-like strokes and an intentionally imperfect quality that reads as natural rather than naïve. The character set is small – lowercase only with numerals – making it best suited to short decorative text, packaging or display headings. Its delicate weight and airy construction give it a hand-lettered charm closer to signage than conventional typography.

Classification

A hand-drawn display face with organic, irregular letterforms evoking botanical illustration. Its soft, airy strokes and imperfect construction place it firmly in the hand-drawn display category.
