THE 3REE

I love it when concept meets reality and the results are tangible. I worked up this custom type a while back to explore some different styles and knew upon completion that I had to take it a step further. I decided to take the custom type and have it built into a sign. I worked through the size and depth of each stage and sent it off. The actual pieces are cut from PVC and are very light weight. I matched my colors as close as possible (thank you Krylon for your wide variety) and went to it. Assembly was a bit tricky but I managed to get each piece secured. The finished product exceeded my expectations. Now I am looking at other custom type treatments I have done to see if they are PVC worthy.

In all the work I am doing lately customers want more of a custom feel when it comes to the shirt graphics. It is almost impossible at that point to use just a standard font (which I am rarely a fan of anyway). Each time I build the treatment I can’t help but to push on and finish the entire alphabet. This assists me with future projects needing custom fonts or straight custom lettering. When my shop is up I will be offering both clean sharp fonts as well as the above two. Follow up soon as I am getting ready to launch.

I am in the process of developing several custom fonts that will be for sale in THE3REE shop soon. My desire and focus is to build fonts that have more of a “designed” or “custom” feel to them. Too often when I am in the process of designing for clients I find myself moving far past customizing fonts in my library and fully creating original type sets check here. This led me to the conclusion that if I needed more custom lettering then so does every other designer out there. As I develop these font packages I will soon be adding more hand lettering styled fonts to the bunch. Stay tuned!

I still have a ton of work to do on the site. I am working on my project management interface, THE3 shop, all of my social networking sites and a ton of other behind the scenes stuff (for sale items and some client work). I am honestly excited to watch it all come together. For now here’s the latest fonts that will be part of the shop. I am attempting to create fonts for designers who want more of a “custom” or “modified” feel to their graphics rather than just the same old type!
