Five years ago today we lost a giant who walked amongst us. Forever grateful for everything I learned from him. RIP Hermann Zapf.

My protest typeface KAFA is free for download here: I designed it to protest Trump, but @NancyAjram used it for a concert during the first lockdown, and a friend wanted to use it for a chicken shop so who really knows where fonts will end up๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
