I've always admired type designers quietly. There's a kind of thinking that goes into letterforms that I find genuinely humbling the patience, the precision, the way a single decision about a curve can change how a word feels to read. I've watched that world from the outside for years. VELODROME is my first real attempt to step inside it. Inspired by vintage roadside sign painting, the hand-drawn, pre-digital kind, I gave myself one rule: every numeral built from a single continuous stripe that folds and resolves without breaking. Ten numerals done. Full alphabet in progress. I'm a graphic designer, not a type designer. This was made with a lot of care and probably a lot of mistakes I can't see yet. If you work in type, I'd genuinely value your eyes on this.
