Felt Tip Woman (2003) is based on the handwriting of graphic designer Pat Thompson. The name was inspired by a misunderstanding: Pat was working with the editor of a children’s book journal when she noticed that one of the books they were reviewing was set in my Felt Tip Roman. Pat pointed this out to the editor who replied, “Did you say Felt Tip Woman? What a strange name for a typeface!” We decided this would be the perfect name for a font based on her handwriting.
