Bookeyed Nelson + San Rafael by Crystal Kluge

September 03, 2012 // kristen // 0 replies

If you’re a fontaholic, then you’re going to want to stick around because today will be filled with all sorts of fontly fun!

I invariably let out a squee of delight when Crystal Kluge (Tart Workshop) releases new fonts, and I don’t think that I’ll be able to resist adding these two new lovelies to my font collection.

First up is Bookeyed Nelson, cousin to the delightful Bookeyed Jack and the darling Bookeyed Suzanne. Nelson is an upstanding fellow whose handsome good looks and charm were hand drawn with pointed pen in walnut ink. He’s strong enough to stand on his own, but he doesn’t complain if he has to share the page with others. Nelson loves books & music, posters & stationery, and spending time with his lovely cousin, Suzanne.

And what have we here? It’s the flirty and sweet hand-lettered font, San Rafael (and don’t forget San Rafael Mission), a breezy duo inspired by clear skies, crisp air, and glimpses of the Golden Gate Bridge and the city on the bay experienced at Mission San Rafael Arcángel. These two lovely fonts are just the thing for labels, packaging, logotypes, book titles, invitations, and other stationery goodies.
