Years ago, while flipping through a friend’s old hardbound collection of John Burroughs nature essays, I thought it’d be fun to see if I could create a typeface with the same uneven, decayed look to it.

I picked and chose from among the printed characters, then hand-traced their shapes painstakingly, warts and all.

What I ended up with is this surprisingly legible weathered serif akin to the late-1800s Century faces.

Introducing Gingermints – an elegant hand-drawn font This hand-drawn font contains the capital, lowercase letters, numbers, and most characters from your keyboard, 131 glyphs in total.

Every pair of letters was carefully adjusted. Watch this space for future updates.

Thanks! 🙂
