{"title":"Baka Expert","description":"Why Baka Expert?\r\n\r\nThere’s actually a simple answer. The original \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/fonts\/positype\/baka\"\u003eBaka\u003c\/a\u003e was done as an experiment of sorts. I wanted to quickly capture a rough, frenetic handwriting style that broke normal conventions. Commercially, it was successful, received some accolades ... but I wasn’t completely satisfied, so I went back to the master art and the lettering explorations and produced \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/fonts\/positype\/baka-too\"\u003eBaka Too\u003c\/a\u003e. This addressed some of the line items I wanted to refine in Baka. I liked it.\r\n\r\nEach font has been out for a few years now, and I have seen them in use. I’m very critical of my work, and I could still see things—modulations of strokes, angle of the nib, ink swell, and so on—that I wanted to change, refine, and reorder.\r\n\r\nFor me, it is typographic indulgence, but I wanted to take this handwriting ‘font’ and turn it into a robust ‘typeface.’\r\n\r\nSo I did just that and a bit more by adding back more of my initial flourish concepts; attaining tighter, consistent control of the modulation; optimizing points; adding titling options; and expanding the character language set. Baka and Baka Too had to exist to produce this entirely new re-envisioning of an old friend ... and they all play well together :)","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.myfonts.com\/fr\/collections\/baka-expert-font-positype.oembed","provider":"MyFonts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
