Happy New Year!! I just released my first typeface in collaboration with Google Fonts! Agụ Display, a decorative, rounded, sans-serif display typeface featuring a morphing substitution axis that makes the letters dance, Agụ Display brings the ancient mystique of Nsibidi symbols to life with inspiration from a rich West African heritage, extending from Cross River, Nigeria to Cameroon. Agụ Display is live on @googlefonts and agudisplay.com (in collaboration with @howtonull). with contributions from @n8willis , @traviskochel, @lizyjoy and @agyeidesign. Special thanks to @davelab6, @ThomasPhinney, Nhung Nguyen, @sugabelly , @mekkablue, @eze102101, Uche Arinze and @Maranatha___

It was the year I backpacked all through the island, no home, just a studio office I invested everything into. I was surviving on chin chin and coffee and whatever food I find at my friend’s and cousins houses. I did this for like a year and had to move back to the family house once covid hit cos it wasn’t sustainable again. In between all this. I was paying salaries and got defrauded by my cofounder who took company funds and just refused to disburse them so I had to settle everyone and he even still tried to sue me again for doing that. 😂😂 I saw pepper and pepper saw me.
