Wow. Impressive. I usually just yell for a designer to do this stuff for me. 😝
Always foget about this sale, so thanks for the heads up. Just picked up 'Meanwhile'. :D
Thanks. Good tip.
On the rare occasion I require such fonts I end up butchering freebie typefaces in Illustrator and it's about time I stopped committing such crimes* against typography.
*By butcher fonts I mean force italicising and condensing. I'm not proud of that.
I'll just leave this here:
