Playful, endearingly madcap and suffused with joy, Sir Quentin Blake’s distinctive handwriting is every bit as recognisable as his illustrations. For generations of children all over the world, the appearance of his distinctive script on a book cover has heralded the beginning of a journey into imagination, hilarity and fantasy. Now, type curators and creators Monotype have captured Sir Quentin’s handwriting with a new, self-varying typeface that mimics the signature irregularities and quirks of the illustrator’s unique style.
