Qi Typeface Family
People ask me how to pronounce Qi. The trouble is, I'm not entirely sure. I was typing various letter combinations while adjusting kerning pairs and stumbled upon Qi. I thought it looked good. So how should you pronounce it? That's entirely up to you.
Available for purchase at Fontspring, MyFonts and from other font distributors.
My inspiration for Qi's design comes from an old sign in my hometown. The sign has seen better days, but I've been intrigued by its Art Deco letters since I was a kid. I've never been able to identify the typeface, so I decided to take those few letters, make refinements and expand it into an entire type family. I know it sounds like the apocryphal story of how typeface revivals come about, but in this case, I have evidence.
