Times like this I wish I had my own line of cosmetic products that I could build an identity for; or some posters advertising a personal pharmacopeia, or something a little gritty and 19th century inspired. Even Steampunk-eque! (So if anyone feels like throwing a project my way that would entail the purchase of $200 work of gorgeous fonts, please, feel free…) my heart’s bleeding for Olduvai and Phaeton right now:
