This typeface was created by writing with a brush pen, selecting the best characters, scanning and tracing exactly to maintain maximum character integrity. Extensive kerning ensures an even flow when set as text, so Gizmo appears as quickly-written handwriting. Works especially well at large sizes when the characteristically uneven edges become evident.About the designer:
Nick Cooke started as a lettering artist in London in 1982 crafting type by hand for book jackets. He doesn't miss the pre-digital age and puts his success down to 'obsession, perseverance, thought and effort'. He controls every aspect of the creative process with particular emphasis placed on consistent character shapes, accurate positioning and extensive kerning. Nick's G-Type foundry was launched in November 1999 to develop innovative, original, but most importantly, usable typefaces.
