BEHIND OUR FIRST TYPEFACE & JANUARY RECAP

Now a bit of a back story to Alleyway Display Typeface, which has been in the works since April 2022 (yes, that long) and since then I have picked it up, put it back down, put it in the bin, restored it, and tweaked it too many times to count, and it was finally at the point that if I looked at it any more my head would combust.

PUTTING ALLY BACK INTO ALLEYWAY

So here we are, dipping our toes into 2023. How does it feel for you? Personally, it feels a bit daunting and scary to me (Ally) as last year was a bit (a lot) of a slog. It was messy, chaotic, heartbreaking, and very uncertain. The joys of running a business hey?
