Nori is the result of brush and ink on paper. The fluidity, as well as the irregularity, is human, honest and intentional. This process was self-indulgent for me; I wanted the typeface to have the flexibility of variation and cohesiveness of movement that someone producing these letters by hand would have. The base set of characters—about 350—were scanned and digitized so I could expand the embellishments, ligatures, alternates, swashes and additional features.
