Maiandra/David Pasternak

David Pasternak of Galapagos Design has worked in type design for over 20 years. He refers to traditional methods of creating type like working in wood and metal rather than relying solely on the computer. He designs with the reader in mind.

The font Maiandra "meandering" was inspired by a fon designed by Oswald Cooper and used in 1909 for furniture ads. The font has subtle irregularities and picks up color well. Maiandra has three weight with italic and works well for extended text like in brochures and correspondence.
