When I was a teenager in the late 1980s, I would order punk and hardcore 7” records and zines through the mail, and the most magical days were when the mail would come bearing hand-addressed packages filled with the sounds and texts that would largely help define my life. In the late 1990s, I become enthralled with type design and delight in the designs brought forth into the world by individuals who had the same pioneering spirit.

Wordshape is the synthesis of these loves: of writing, of publishing, of making meaning, and of sharing.
