the letter b

I love the interesting use of shapes and the various monochromatic harmonies in the background of this type. The letter itself is not as interesting to me as the way the designer created so many layers. I also love the depth created by the use of color and layering. Of course the letter b is the focal point but that is not what drew me to this design.

This is a font that I found in a book a while ago. It caught my eye because of the mixture of cursive and print that it combines. This is something that I commonly when I write so I really liked it. I do know that while it is interesting, it could easily date a piece so it would need to be used carefully when applied to a piece.
