About Feijoa
"Feijoa is my first serious book typeface, representing four summer's worth of bloody hard work. I wanted a feeling of softness in a typeface, to design a type that didn't have all the sharp points and edges that can make digital type so stale and inhuman. The saying 'a straight line is a dead line' was very inspirational, I initially took that rather seriously. However, it became apparent that this need not be taken literally, as many of the baseline curves became irrelevant at smaller sizes. All I wanted to do was make a decent, useable text typeface that could handle most uses in book settings. I never really read these blurbs anyway - most typophiles just look at the letterforms and make up their mind!" p>
