  1. Great! Reminds me of an early digital attempt at distorting Helvetica: FF Schmelvetica, by Chester Jenkins who now runs Village.

    My husband and I designed this. The distorted type was achieved by photographing the title through textured glass.

  3. Thank you very much for chiming in, much appreciated!

  4. Cool, Mary! Can’t deny that sounds much more interesting (and fun) than applying a digital filter.

  5. More from John and Mary Condon at Book Workship.
