Why Freckles and Fonts? * Freckles and Fonts

Freckles and Fonts was born because, to me, those are two of the most beautiful things in the world.

The freckles on my kids little noses and on their shoulders after being in the sun. My husbands forearms with the intricate patterns of light brown and strawberry angel kisses.

Someone used to call me “freckles” as an insult. I still feel bad for her. That was her insult game? Weak.

I think the Postal Service has it right in their song “Such Great Heights”

I am thinking it’s a sign

That the freckles in our eyes

Are mirror images and when

We kiss they’re perfectly aligned.

And then there’s the fonts!! Oh man! The shape of a letter or word can invoke such different emotions. Tall and thin, short and squatting, filled or fine. They are as numerous and diverse as the millions of people on our fair planet. I love to play with the shapes and lines and curves to create just the right expression.
