2 fonts were designed: Whisky Jazz and Distilled Spirit, both used in the project to give strange rythm. Please note the M letter which is a nice graffiti inspired trick. (We love it!).

Take them here: whiskyjazzbeta and distilledspirit

They're raw and unfinished, but correspond to a spontaneous enthousiasm.
It's beta versions, only the capitals were done. If anybody feels the pleasure of forging other letters, feel welcome!

Black lettrines comes from 19th century font samples.
