Ink before pixels
Every alphabet we draw starts on paper, because a curve made with a wrist is different.

The note
The wrist
Emil draws a first alphabet in ink with a broad-edge nib. The variation you cannot fake is in the terminals.
Scan
We scan at 1,200 dpi, trace by hand, and only then clean up.
Keep the mistakes
We leave one deliberate imperfection per alphabet so the letters read as made.
