A typeface inspried by the 90's alternative rock band Mazzy Star. Mazzy Star's sound is characterized by haunting, sultry vocals and hypnotic, reverb-soaked instrumentation. To recreate the experience of listening to the band’s music, I started with cursive strokes inspired by Edwardian Script ITC font and then distorted the forms. The end result was a typeface that harmonized both the sentimental and harsh characteristics of their music.
