Background
This typeface was originally designed for a t-shirt that was eventually rejected by the client. It has since been reworked and used on a holiday card for another client. I would consider this typeface a remix, since it is constructed from blackletter typography ? I really liked the idea of treating a typeface completely anachronistically, not dissimilar to the usage of the DecadesOS typeface.
Toying with antiquity in two realms, Brea uses primitive dot matrix, the first electronic print, as a medium for expressing a once intensely manual Old English hand. These incongruous historical allusions update the Middle Ages, but places them squarely in the early ?80s.
