Jon Hicks, famous for the creation of logos for some quite popular brands, created a custom font as an homage to his father who passed away in June 2021.
In an article he wrote about the why and also described the creation process in some detail.
In my opinion this is not only a great project with an admirable background, but I am always fascinated about the creative process behind creating a font, too.
Yes, might be old news, but it's art.
