Part of my my 'Letter a day' project' for my type blog Twenty Six Types. The characters start of as drawings created with the iPhone app Brushes, which are then imported into a background layer in Font Lab Studio. Each glyph can be traced and tidied up and exported as a font file.

I drew this letter 'R' from this photograph, which was taken on a visit to the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum in Two River, WI.
