Darko Xylitski
Darko Xylitski (Moonmoth Design) created the free outlined typeface Barbibarian Marker (2013). The story of Merlotica Sans (2013) merits to be told. In Darko's own words: This font began as a pencil sketch made on a napkin in an oyster bar in Istanbul, while I perused the rather sparse but nicely calligraphed wine menu. My date- minor royalty from a nearby oil state- felt I was not paying her enough attention and went out in a huff. I was left with two heaping plates of mollusk, a rather fine bottle of Grigio and my sketch. Well into the second bottle (the Andalusian Merlot commemorated herewith), and after who knows how many crumpled napkins, I asked the waiter to borrow his pen in order to ink in a first fair prototype of these glyphs. I remember how his mustaches twitched as he scowled at me. Other typefaces: Thud Thunk (2013), Workshop Light (2013), Baby Doll (2013), Desiderata (2013), Curtains Final (2013), Jet Lag Slow (2013, inspired by snails), Jet Lag Eaten (2013), Jet Lag Medium-Serif (2013), Hoodwinked (2013). |
