D.I.Y. ’75
D.I.Y. ’75 is another font I created for a commercial project I did in 2022. It was a vinyl album booklet for an early 1970s band. The band used to have a fanzine they made themselves. I rebuilt some for the booklet based on scans of original copies of the fanzine. There were some missing pieces so I needed to recreate them. This typeface was part of that process.
