Monastora Typeface
I was given the opportunity to create a typeface for Writer Board Co., a company that handcrafts and sells skateboards and long boards. The goal of this project was to develop a typeface that would embody the story, beliefs, and practice of Writer Board Co. In addition to the typeface, I rebranded the company to better reflect who they are.

Typeface Design, Brand Identity
Distinctive, meditative, and organic are all words which describe the process of handcrafting each individual board, and the type specimen is created to reveal such. The name Monastora was drawn from combining the Greek words “Monadikos,” meaning unique, and “Istoria,” meaning story. Each board is made uniquely for rider’s specific desires and needs, with and for everyone’s different story in mind. The typeface was created to feel stable and organic with unique qualities to reflect the story behind Writer Board Co., as well as the smooth ride the boards provide.
