Job Wouters is a Dutch typographic artist that incorporates illustrative style hand-crafted letterforms.I came across a documentary process of Job and his 5 year old creating characters a-z, and it is adaptly titled this.
The simplicity of strokes and controlled formation of the top halves of these is incredibly masterful. Without mistakes or erasing, but committed accuracy.
I found the comparisions of the two styles very refreshing...
The 5 year old formed unrefined type, with less precision but delivered a uniqueness to a unpredictable spontaneous typeface.
