This Times Roman lowercase ‘g’ looks the way it does because typefaces like this evolved from calligraphy. Look how effortlessly the broad nib pen creates these kind of forms. #calligraphy

I adopted a simple graphic approach for this wonderful Gustav Klimt quote. The lettering is inspired by some of the lettering he painted for a Vienna Secession poster in 1898 @GoogleArts #klimtvsklimt #ad
