Dial is an alphabet that I began exploring in 2021. It was a way for me to remember my childhood experience of looking at the rotary phone on my granparents wall. My grandpa was a telephone man, and had lots of phone related ephemera and signs around the house and workshop, but of all the things, it was the phone that drew my attention.
Years later, as a type designer, I decided to capture something of the essence of the letters on the phone. They have a warmth and humanity that just feel right.
