      This particular piece use a custom typeface. I based it on a couple of pre-existing typefaces from an old book called "New Zanerian Alphabet" you can download the pdf here: www.iampeth.com/books.php

      Even more, the old ones in the Zanieran manual were all done by hand, not typefaces available somewhere. The lettering hands were then shadowed with a section liner. It is an antique tool that draws completely parallel lines in a variety of increments. I post a picture of one if you'd like to see it. They are a simple work of genius. Love seeing it here with a modern twist on a historic art form!
