A very special font release! It's a handwriting font based on my Grandfather's writing from 1955, when he was writing love letters to my Nana. My grandfather recently turned 99, and I wanted to celebrate by making this font for him, but it's so pretty not to share, so it's available on my site now!

It’s back! This will be the 3rd annual Fontathon (I think after three years we can consider it an annual event!?) and I am very excited to be watching and streaming live type design from March 8-9!

Recently got a Nikon Z50II after years without a camera (other than the one on my phone). My D80 broke about 5 years ago and I just kinda stopped taking photos, which was weird because I’ve been the one who takes photos since high school. Anyway, now I want to take photos every day, here’re a few.

Tracing some handwriting. Now to add features like swashes and ligatures for slightly more variation.

Early Christmas present from my dad, he built a nice big bench for the dining area! I gave him a quick sketch and some dimensions and he made it a real thing. Plus extra storage in tiny apartment, yes please!!!

Alanna Munro’s Formulate font family was made through a study of tidy handwriting and is intended as an update to the traditional ‘educational handwriting font.’ fonts.ilovetypography.com/fonts/alanna...

My kids need some extra help with writing so I made a club to make writing practice sound fun and cool. Here’s a little doodle of a logo to make it feel real.

Oh hai! For more context than my little bio, I'm an independent type designer running Alanna Munro Type Foundry. I'm on a mission to make everyone I meet into a Letter Nerd because I think letters are heckin' cool! For serious though, I teach typography because it's a really important part of design

Definitely impulse-preordered the limited edition Daggerheart game from Critical Role… who wants to play with me when it arrives next Spring 😅

I've been searching for an alternative to Sticker Mule (you can look up the reasons why) but it has proved difficult to recreate the print quality and shape I want. Tried 3 other places so far and it looks like @jukeboxprint.bsky.social wins! The print quality is actually better than the mule place.

I would like to cast, "download a free trial of my fonts!" It's really easy to install my fonts for free so you have them right in your font menu when you are looking for the right font for your next project: alannamunro.com/trial-fonts

Amberwood in use, spotted at the local kids bookshop! It’s a slightly modified version of Amberwood but I should probably add these not-so-tall styles at some point. More amberwood: alannamunro.com/fonts/amberwood

New Release: Stornoway! Aren't high-contrast sans serifs just the coolest? But they are not super great for text so I added a contrast axis to take that contrast down low (Stornoway Low) for use in text! Stornoway is a beautiful, functional little powerhouse ❤️

How much “faking it” needs to happen before the “making it” part happens? Asking for a friend.

I used to use the blue bird place to announce when I was doing some live type design. I’m throwing a little online party tonight to celebrate my new website, and new typeface. Bring some drinks and snacks, come in your PJs—it’ll be a fun, chill time. twitch.tv/alannamun

Do you ever associate an album with a creative project because you listened to it a lot while working on said project? I’ll go first: Stornoway is my brat typeface. Pretty much only listened to brat while making it.

Back in my interaction designer days, when we launched a new website for a client we had a tradition of all throwing on some cool shades and blasting “danger zone” through the whole studio. I like to keep this tradition alive so this is me this morning. Check out the new site! alannamunro.com
