ABOUT

Anika Samples

Based in Austin, TX, Anika Samples created the curly script typeface Sissy Hankshaw (2011), about which she writes: Helvetica Rounded Bold and Dorchester Script were combined to create this typeface as a typographic embodiment of Tom Robbin's Even Cowgirls Get the Blues protagonist Sissy Hankshaw. A stunning, modelesque wanderlust with cucumber-sized thumbs (and therefore a superior ability to hitchhike), Sissy's feminine beauty is referenced with Dorchester while Helvetica Rounded adds an awkwardness in hommage to her over-sized appendages.
