Magik Wanda

Magik Wanda began as inky drawings hand-lettered with a Speedball Series B nib. As it developed, I was influenced by the lettering styles of the Vienna Secession movement (especially Berthold Löeffler), the illustration and lettering in Wanda Gág's children's books (cir. 1920), as well as elements of my signature style. Wanda said of her work that she tried to make it "warmly human, imaginative, or humourous — not coldly decorative" And that's my wish for this design. The almost monoline light weight stays close to the round ink pen look, while the heavier weights have a high contrast more reminiscent of Art Deco type. This makes it fantastic for use in food packaging, beauty products, restaurant branding, cookbooks and publishing. [futurefonts.xyz]
