Borrowdale

Borrowdale is a valley and civil parish in the English Lake District. In the 16th century a major deposit of graphite was discovered near Seathwaite, which kickstarted the pencil industry.

Borrowdale font was made with one of my son’s coloring pencils (which probably does not contain a single molecule of graphite). It is a very legible and easy-on-the-eye font, ideal for children’s books, texts and product packaging.

It comes with a mother lode of diacritics.
