When I originally set out to work on this project, I intended to focus more heavily on hinting, so the cuts would look right on screen. However, after some research and an email dialogue with Peter Bil’ak – one of the world’s most knowledgeable type designers and type design professors – I decided to spend less time on hinting, and more time on developing variations. After all, if Peter Bil’ak tells his students not to worry about hinting, it is pretty safe to leave it alone.
