Grboth is a leather workshop that manufactures genuine leather accessories such as belts, bracelets, chevrons, wallets. The workshop wanted to emphasize the locality of production, so it used the Quietism typeface, designed and developed in the same city. The mirror-image capital letters were cast in aluminum as separate stamps. Then the stamps are fixed in a special form, which is fixed in the press. After warming up, the form presses the inscription on the leather product. Both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets were produced, each letter in several copies, so that's enough to compose a small phrase or the product owner's name.
