Being a graphic designer, you tend to get a boner sometimes for things many others would deem dull and inconsequential.

Every now and then for me, it’s a font that really gets the fires burning.

Yeah I know, it’s sad – but hear me out.

This is a new font by Pebl from the newly formed Type Foundry Formation Type. Created by Ian Clewett, it was inspired by pebbles he found on a beach in Snowdon.

You can get your hands on it for the princely sum of around £3 here: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/formation-type-foundry/pebl/

Check out the kerning on these… Bonerrrrrrr…

What fonts give you the proverbial boner?

What hapn’ Covert!
