My love for handwriting began when I was just three years old and asked my mom "what letter is that?" when we walked past a Parking sign.

Over the years, I've been captivated not only by the visual beauty of letterforms but also by the personality that handwriting can convey. Whether it was written in a rush, or carefully crafted with a specialized nib. I find joy in exploring a wide range of scripts, from the elegance of historical calligraphy where creating a font is like bringing a piece of history back to life, to the charm of casual, everyday handwriting.

Through Argentumbra, I aim to share my love of letterforms and make handwriting a living, breathing part of modern visual culture.
