On my birthday I went to see the beautiful gravestones behind Glasgow Cathedral. Because of their age, their memorial carvings had eroded and engulfed in moss. In the most extreme cases, for the gravestones which were no longer being upkept, the sentences had become completely unintelligable. It seemed interesting, how all of these writings, whose purpose are to remind of the person burried there, were also slowly being lost to time, dying, even if literally written stone. I decided to create this 3-variant typeface pack based on how letters decay in real gravestones.
Big thanks to Jenny for discovering the the stones first! If it wasn’t for her, this project wouldn’t have happened! :)
